Budget wise around $50 give or take, I'm a student so I don't have too much to spend. I also have two strops from straight razor designs, one in the 3" latigo leather and again in the 2" version. I use the 3" most and almost never the 2" so I thought about pasting the 2" strop with the green CrOx. At the moment I dont have any of my tools with at school to make a balsa strop. I think I would be more satisfied with a barbers hone though, not sure why but it just is more appealing to me. Where should I look for barber hones? Not a big fan of ebay and since I dont know too much about them not sure what I should be looking for.
