Well, I'd like to get started into str8 shaving as soon as I can, but a problem with my vehicle surfaced last night and it appears that my original startup plans got all shot. With that in mind, I started looking at cheaper razors and whatnot, and ran into an issue (besides the difficulty in finding a reasonably priced, shave-ready razor)....

What do I use for a strop? Tony's just plain' ole sold out on the starter ones, which caught my eye after the money difficulty popped up. And that brings me to my question:

Should I just try to be patient for however long it takes Tony to restock, or can I figure out the razor situation and use something until I can get one of Tony's strops?

I'm hoping you guys can provide some help/insight that I seem to be lacking here. I'm probably just being too impatient.
