    Default Hello from idaho

    Hey ive been reading a lot on this forum finally decided to join because I have some questions.
    I have been wet shaving for about 6 months with a de and I just got a shave ready gold dollar from ebay. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what materials I need to make a homemade strop because I cant afford a legit one at the moment. Thanks

    Go over to Hap Tallman's Tack Shop on Overland. Have them cut you a piece of smooth latigo or harness leather 3.5 x 28". Cut a handle on one end and punch a hole in the other end for a tie. Total cost: $8. They've cut me several pieces and know what you're looking for if you explain what you want. Then, rub it down with your bare hands a few times and you'll have a great strop.

    Jack, at Jack's Barber Shop, also on Overland, is an old timer who actually does straight razor shaves. Stop and ask him questions and he's happy to help.

    Welcome to SRP.
    And good luck on your quest.
    Sometimes I feel normal.
    Then it's time to lay down and wait for it to pass.
