Hello Everybody;

I am getting deeper and deeper in this world and I like it.

I would like to be able to 1) make a new SR truly shave ready and 2) be able to do touch ups so the SR stays sharp longer.

For my understanding the best tools to do this are the Naniwa 12K and the Shapton 16K stones. However I can not get any of them here in Europe so I need to find alternatives.

I visited a store the other day and they proposed the 4 sided Sreich Riemen razor strop which present a natural stone on one of the sides.

Could this be a substitute for the Naniwa or Shapton stones in order to make a SR shave ready and keep the blade sharper longer?

Thank you for the feed back
