About a year ago I picked up an old C-Mon and a barber hone from a couple of antique stores and set about straight shaving. And a DOVO strop from the classicshaving website.

The best edge I could produce wasn't so great from the barber hone that I didn't lap. But I did get acceptable shaves. My interest sort of went to DE shaving. But that old C-Mon was there calling to me.

I restored her. A couple of spots of pitting that were easily sanded out. Some light rust and I polished up the scales. Now the problem is I can't re-pin it to save my life.

In the mean time I bought this razor ,that is shave ready.

So why am I telling you all of this? Because I need some advice.

I wanted a Tony Miller Strop, but he's unfortunately having some family issues and understandably is dealing with those and not making new strops.

I don't care for the DOVO and it'll be relegated to being a pasted strop.

I will buy from Tony Miller as soon as he begins production again. Can someone recommend a good strop to start me out?

What is a good paste for touch ups with my new (old) razor?

Thanks for any help
