Hello all,

I originally sent this to Tony himself, but figured this might make a better forum topic.

I am new to straight razor shaving and would like to order a strop from The Well Shaved Gentleman.

Which of the offered 3 Heirloom #1 3" strops do you guys recommend?

I have 2 razors: a 6/8 Baudad 1/4 hollow wedge, and I just purchased this razor:

I have never used a strop before, so I have no opinions or preferences at this point.

I am also planning on purchasing a pasted paddle strop to help give me some extra time before I have to hone the razors(the razors I have have been honed by members of this site -- I haven't used them yet.) What grade pastes should I have you put on for the pasted paddle strop?

You advice is appreciated.

Thanks!
Chad
