Thanks to the awesome members here at the SRP I was talked out of wasting $80 on a bogus starter kit. I now need to acquire a decent razor and strop for $80. Any suggestions?

I have read a few posts about the sight unseen razors from whipped dog for $40. This is my front runner at the moment. Any thoughts?

How about a good strop in the $30 range? I have found a few in that range but nothing that is 3in wide.

Thanks for the input.
