You are smart to wait until September as it is very crowded here now. Humid as well - an unusually hot and humid past several weeks.

Your question is a good one that I have wondered about also. I am sure we'll get some good advice.

Best,

My question to the veterans is normally do you need to add a compound to your strop? Also does the length o the strop matter?
