Over the course of time most of us decide, or bumble along, to stop at a given point of acquisitions.
That said, after a while many of us will upgrade certain items of shaving paraphernalia.
The quality of of shaves have improved due to practice and so has the life of our razor edges. Some guys stop there with a couple very good razors and a strop they trust.
Some will upgrade from the practice strop because it looks, acts, works, or SWMBO likes nice stuff in the necessary room, and we have learned a proper stropping motion so we won't cut a fancy strop.
All a matter of what our real?? reason is for straight razor wet shaving!
YMMV
