Don't throw away those disposables or the cart head just yet .

Not terribly surprising that I am over thinking it. I tend to do that with a lot. You mentioned making my own strop - are there any how-to's on that? I have a friend who owns a textile factory so I can get my hands on high quality leather scraps for next to nothing or possibly even free depending on how much I need. I'll look into whipped dog too. So now my hunt for a honemeister begins.
