Thanked: 983This is easier than me trying to explain it. I made mine a little differently to this, but I've got some more dedicated tools for leatherwork than my good friend James, and it was his ideas that gave me my ideas anyway.
Making a (very) home-made strop - Straight Razor Place Wiki
As to balms and stuff, use whatever aftershave balm you currently use. With regards to the shave cream, you can do it cheap with a trip to Coles or Woolworths and pick up a shave soap stick or tube of 'SHAVE' cream by Fauldings or Palmolive shave cream, also in a tube. You'll need a shave brush (I forgot whether or not you said you had the gear or not), razor, which you have, and a strop. That is essentially all you need for a decent shave. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
