    Default I need a good inexpensive strope

    Hello everybody. Justin Webb here from Maine USA. I just got my first shavette for christmas. I will be sending out a straight razor that was my great great grandfathers to have it polished and honed. I will be useing that razor to shave with once I get it back. Since I am a beginner still and dont want to spend big bucks, I need to know what strope I would need to keep my razor sharpe.

    Thanks for the help

    Justin

    Leather Hanging Strops

    I have the 3" wide Big Daddy Chestnut leather strop for $36.88. I like the 3" wide so I can strop back and forth rather than in an X pattern.

    All of the above are great suggestions, whipped dog is pretty great pricewise I hear but the 3 inch wide is also great. I like my Fromm, pick whatever fits!

    Big +1. Larry is great to deal with, he'll answer all your questions. Don't spend a lot for a strop to start with, you'll likely nick it to pieces learning how to strop. We all do.

    My suggestion go on amazon and look up Fromm strops. Any of the ones that have Fromm in the name will be good. They run between 33 and 40
