I am getting close to the point that I will likely buy a nicer one but not until I am sure I can use it without nicking it.

    Hopefully that sale on the shavemac brushes sticks around for a bit though... Those prices are awesome.
    SRD offers a replacement leather for the latigo strop, in case one might place a terminal nick on one's latigo strop. Tony Miller (The Well Shaved Gentleman) offers practice strops.

    Personally, I would go for Tony's practice strop. Chances are you will hack it to pieces, and in the event, you will get a nice strop for pastes. Cf. my first Dovo strop...

    SRD's strops look yummy, though.
