    Default Thanks for the warm welcome

    Hi everybody. I just joined yesterday and have been shaving with a straight for less then 3 weeks. My blade is getting dull and it is time for a strop. Does anyone have a suggestion on where a guy on a budget can find a decent strop that wont cost a fortune. Thanks again

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Tony Miller is the guy you want to talk to about a strop. He has a begginers strop that might fit what your looking for.

    Kenrup also has some beginner strops that her sells. They are not as nice as a Tony Miller beginner strop, but work nonetheless.

    Welcome!

    The rule to follow is to strop for 30-50 round trip laps just before each shave.
