Thread: Any advice for my first strop

Ben,

Take a look at the Filly strop. Minimal cost and a nice strop to begin with.

RupRazor - The Filly

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.

Strop purchased. Thanks for the great advice everyone.

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.
