I'd suggest you get a strop with canvas component. Amazon usually has the illinois/fromm strops which are good and in the $30-$40 range, e.g. Amazon.com: Fromm Razor Strop 2 1/2" X 23": Health & Personal Care
The canvas makes a big difference for the longevity of the edge. It is more abrasive than leather, but much less than pastes.
Thanks gugi! Assuming I'm stropping correctly, and shaving about 3 times a week, how long might I be able to go before needing to send it off to be honed again?
