    +1 on strops getting nicked up. The way I see it, there's two options available for this. You can buy a newbie strop to learn on. I'd recommend a Fromm strop off Amazon (~30-35USD), but the RupRazor Filly (20USD) is also a decent strop for learning on, and cheap with it too. Alternatively, you can buy one of Tony Miller's beautiful Artisan strops (Latigo or Horsehide) for about double this cost (~65-70USD), and he'll sell you a practice strop, suitable for learning on, for a mere additional $7.50.

    If you've got the money to spend, I'd personally recommend going with option two - that way, once you've learnt to strop properly, you don't have to shell out more money to upgrade from your nicked-to-all-buggery learner strop to a premium strop, as it's all there, ready and waiting for you to be able to use it properly.

    Hope that I've helped you somehow, and welcome to the community.
