Also TM (tony miller thewellshavedgentleman.com) strops have the option to pay and extra $8 to add a practice strop to the order that way you only pay shipping once get a practice strop to tear up and a nice strop for when your ready.

hope this helps, good luck![/QUOTE]

If you have the money this is a much better way to go, since I have never heard a bad comment on tony miller strops. I plan on getting one myself but wife has told me to stop buy razor stuff for a while
