Wow, sounds like you really have jumped in with both feet. Looks like you're off to a great start! I'm not sure if I misunderstood you but are you going to order an apprentice strop in addition to the strop you already have on order? If so, I would suggest asking Tony to update your order to include the practice strop instead and if that fails, PM me and I'll send you mine.

Otherwise, seems like you are off and running. Enjoy!
