Thanks again, all, for the advice and encouragement.
I placed an order with Whipped Dog for a couple strops. I went to AOS to have a look, and was underwhelmed when I saw that strop. I am ignorant on the subject still, but it looked waaay too small for what they were asking for it. It looked like it would make a fine travel strop, but for that price. But I really don't know. In any case, after looking at a few of the suggestions I just placed the order to get it going.
I'll definitely check out the products recommended at BBW and L'Occitane.
Cheers!
