Hey all,

I've just paid for my first razors, and they should be arriving in around 2 weeks, before which point I need to purchase a brush (easy enough) and a strop. This second item is causing me a little confusion about what I need. I'm looking at getting a 3" Red Latigo with 3" Cotton Herringbone Linen (for when the edges need a touchup - needless to say I won't be using it straight away, as the razors are all being properly honed before posting). At this stage I'm going to get it from SRD for $75.98 pp. Does this strop sound about right or am I being overly ambitious with it or being ripped off?
Also, does Latigo require any sort of special ongoing treatment compared to regular leather, or any elaborate breaking in method compared to regular leather?

Cheers in advance for the help,
Tom
