Good evening all. I'm so new to str8 razor shaving that I don't even have my equipement yet, save for a couple of fleabay razors I'm having delivered...lol. Which gets me to my question...I work overseas and may experience some difficulty with getting supplies in a timely manner. So...having said that, aside from the razor, what would be a decent strop for a beginner to use and practice with? I won't say that money is no object as I try to be frugal but again, speding the mortgage on equipemtn isn't my idea of thrifty. I've read just enough on this forum to know that I'll likely have to get the razor(s) honed by a professional and that stropping is an integral part of shave day. I'd be open to ideas on general equipment as well along with any other tips on whatever y'all might deem relevant. Thanks everyone. Rich.
