Description
Dovo Calfhide & Linen Strop
The Dovo calfhide strop with linen (18535001) has a 1.75×11.75″ effective area of extra-fine calfhide, a stitched endcap with D-ring handle, and a linen rear preparation surface. This is a webbed cotton type of linen preparation side, so perhaps consider adding a linen-only strop if you wish to keep the razor sharp through sharpening pastes.
White Finely-Webbed Cotton Prep Side
Dovo’s current offering for the linen preparation surface is a bright white herringbone style cotton, which takes very well to the Dovo white paste, but which does not come pre-conditioned with this as they used to do with flax type linen. Try it as-is, and you feel it will get “pill-y”, go for the Dovo white paste.
