Also, take a look at this strop. 2" Leather Strop
Sure is a good strop. Costs less than the filly, and has a few more features..
Welcome to SRP
Actually you don't have to nick your strop if you practice flipping the razor in mid air first to develop the dexterity & then spend some time practicing on a hanging strop made from a single sheet of newspaper. Of course timing the flip is crucial but little damage is done if mistakes are made on newspaper.
I have one from ruprazor.com it cost $20. I don't have much experience with strops and SR shaving. But others have recomended it too.
