Hey everybody, I am just getting into strait razor shaving. I have a good razor, but I haven't started shaving with it yet. I need a strop. I'm looking for something good but won't break the bank.

Also should I get a linen and leather strop?

I also do leatherwork. Mostly tooling leather, I was wondering if I were to make a strop, what would be a good leather to use.

Another question goes back to making a strop. Any input on making a paddle strop?

Thanks
