Welcome to the 'Place' & yes it's a strop dressing. You probably won't need it for a very long time unless your strop is constantly in direct sunlight &/or A/C.

G'Day and welcome to SRP, mate.
You might like to edit your profile to let everyone know where you are.
Lots, mate - IIRC there's a thread on how to search for members in our area on a sticky either on the top of the members introductions or beginners sections
Hi and welcome to SRP! :)
Yes, Brisbane and surrounds seems to be a hotbed for straight razor users. Probably because of all those degenerate biker-types eating pizzas together and making their nefarious plans about which half to put the anchovies on at pubs I think. :)
Do check out the Australian section of the forums. There's a Brisbane meeting scheduled for early March I think, and it could be an excellent way to fast track your learning by getting some face to face help from more experienced users. But avoid that Havachat fellow - he's a biker. :o

Welcome to SRP from the other side of the world. Sounds like you are off to a great start. Good luck! :)
Welcome to SRP mate. Good to see another Brisbane boy on the forum.
Your kit looks a solid start. I still pull the old Dovo (my first straight) out every so often, she is still a good shaver.
Let me know if you need anything.

I think he needs a free custom Stu. In fact, so do I if you're handing them out! :D
James.
Haha Thanks Plenty lads I'll be keeping a look out for fellow users in brisbane. Unfortunately I will be leaving for Japan in late feb and living in Tokyo for a year so I won't be able to attend the meet. Regardless I'll keep an eye out for the Australians and Brisbane people on the forums!
