I made the mistake of getting a "buy it now" strop with "free delivery" on ebay so I could start shaving sooner. Bad idea. The strop has a natural crack in the leather from the top down the middle to about half way down.

There's no way I'm going to use it so I'll have to wait for my proper strop to show up before I can have my next shave. Luckily my razor was honed up and stropped for me by ShavedZombie so I had a few good shaves before I had to set it down.

I thought I was being smart by getting a cheap one to practice with. Nope.
