Welcome to SRP. Happy 3rd Aniversary. For a strop, try going local, Vintage Straight Razor Sales & Restorations, Hand Made Strops, UK Razor Honing and Vintage Hone Stones. Neil is a member here and his strops are among the best out there. He might have a few razors lying around as well. Contact him and I am certain he can help you make a decision and make your husband's gift a superb one. Keep us posted.
