Great strop. It was what i wanted and more.

It does what is supposed to do. Can't ask for any more

A great company and I will use them again

Full Disclosure: After receiving this strop, I immediately disassembled it and conditioned both sides of the leather with Fromm 1907 strop dressing for 48 hours while laying the leather on a flat surface. This probably (most certainly) wasn't necessary but it's my habit. The leather is exquisitely supple and provides a smooth yet grippy draw with tones of feedback. This leather does a great job providing sensations that help judge how much of the razor's edge is being worked by the strop, and its suppleness/flexibility helps to conform to the razor and alleviate geometry issues. I find this helpful for Thiers Issard Razors which have great razor steel but suffer from more geometry issues than my DOVOs. I get awesome edges with this strop. I also have the Razor Emporium horsehide strop. In my subjective opinion get more feedback from the English Bridle and it's easier for me to use but the horsehide gives the edge a touch more refinement. I often do 40 laps on the English Bridle and finish with 20 laps on the horsehide. For reference, I hone my own razors with Shapton Pro stones up through 30k followed by stropping on magnetically backed denim strips loaded with .250 micron and 0.125 micron diamond sprays placed chef knives to go steel stropping plate. I then finish on these leather strops. Once a month I may go back to the diamond-loaded denim or the 30k or both for 5-10 laps. These leather stops do a great job of maintaining the edges I obtain with this method. I generally strop before every shave but always do at least 20 laps on the canvas after each shave to help dry my razors. The canvas on these strops is of very good quality. It'd be interesting if Matt could look into sourcing flax canvass material for an optional accessory canvass. The internets tell me that old flax firehose is the best canvass material for razor strops.
