Going with what Bluesman said, afte i cut my first strop a few times and i wanted to replace it with something nice, my second strop was a Kanayama 70000. I spent a lot of money for it being a top shaelf strop. This made me NOT want to go fast, and to be damn sure of not cutting it. I cut up my first one but have not cut any sense. Some have said that after you get started, spend big money! It will keep you from making mistakes because you dont want to damage something that cost a lot.

Another way to go is the SRD strops. You can spend a bit of money on your first one, but then after you cut it up you can replace the leather and/or linen as they sell replacements for low cost. Im not promoting SRD, but the strops are not a bad deal. Lots of ways to go about strops!

PM Speedster as he had one he was selling.
