Thread: gf's starter package

If you are referring to practice stropping then any razor analogue will work.
From my understanding modern disposable blades are coated to increase the comfort so stropping doesn't work too well. However to get the action then a shavette without a blade will work.
Once you get the pressure and action correct that can be transferred fairly easily.
Using newspaper in a bulldog clip will help you to learn pressure etc. If the paper rips or comes out of the clip you are pressing too hard.

Frank Shaving TWO Sided Leather Canvas Hanging Strop | eBay

You will often see this strop rebranded by Dovo and other brand names and you will pay twice as much for it because it's Dovo... Go figure, excellent badge engineering but you can find it even cheaper than this lsting simply based on which seller you buy it from.

This was my first strop, it's not bad!

An Illinois strop is a cheap way to go without sacrificing quality, as well.
