Hello forum!! so ive been around for a few months now and i love this site!! the members here are soo helpful!! Ive been meaning to thank them publicly for a while now and finally found the time. Thank you nun2sharp for honing my razor for me you did a most excellent job shaves like a dream. And a very special thanks to janivar123!!!! janivar123 gave me my first razor, one that i will cherish for years too come!! these guys gave me hope, and a foot in the door of a most wonderful new way of life.

now that i have a razor and a job that i believe the wicked smooth shave from my dangerously sharp gold dollar helped me to acquire lol, i have a little extra cash to put towards my shaving kit. so im in the market for a new strop. ive made myself a decent little poormans strop out of some leather i had lying around for some projects, but i think i would like to buy i nice new strop so i can get a better feel for a real strop. to see if mine is doing the job correctly and to get a better idea of how a quality strop is made and what not. so in your opinion who has some of the best strops.

Also i have soap and a brush that i got at walmart, im guessing its crap considering it came from walmart in the isle next to all the disposibles i hope never to waste money on ever again. where might i find a nice brush and a nice assortment of soaps and aftershaves?

thanks for your imput and again a huge thank you to janivar123 and nun2sharp!!
