Paddle strops are easier to start with and offer replaceable pads of different materials.

My vote is for the whipped dog strop, it's CHEAP, works well, it's CHEAP and when you cut it learning to strop you won't be upset (Did I mention it's cheap LOL)
As for the razor, I can confirm AOS razors are NOT shave ready, go into the classifieds sections and there are several vendors offering honing services, have it professionally honed and then you are off to the races

I love my Illinois #827 Russian Leather Razor Strop!! It does take some breaking in, but it is classic, has the linen as well and built like a tank! I have had this from day one and only one small nick. Year and a half and still going.

Straight Razor Designs and Vintage Blades have great strops.
