I recently bought an Inoue Tōsuke NOS kamisori strop. It’s almost exactly the width of my Iwosaki at 48mm, and the leather seems to be of impeccable quality - a single strip, covering the length of the wood, one of the ends, and along the opposite, convex face.
What I’m puzzled about is the purpose of the convex face. I’ve speculated a fair bit and I’ve searched online, to no avail.
Does anyone know what its function is, or what advantage it provides?
