From one newb to another since my last post I have changed my mind, after posting for help on strop selection and watching the videos in the wiki I have decided to go with a 2" old school from thewellshavedgentleman.com getting along with it a 2nd quality practice strop for 7.50, I know I originally posted that I was going with the filly(still sounds like a really good choice) but since my wife offered it as a christmas gift I kicked it up a notch. Besides that I just think they are real purdy.

I have no affiliation with any sales sites, just tellin you where I'm puttin my wifes money. Good luck man, let us know how it goes.

Still reading while my confidence grows,
