Hey gang! As I said in my intro, I was initially gifted a straight razor set (from the do not use list) and it came with a strop. I believe it was the Van der Hagen setup. Since my girlfriend has upgraded me to a new Dovo 6/8 for my bday and I'll be sending it off to SRD for a proper honing, would any of you recommend NOT experimenting with the strop I have now? Should I just pony up for a decent strop from SRD and, if so, which one is the best balance of price and function for a brand newb?

Thanks for your time, people! Joe
