Gents,

I'm planning on getting a modular strop from Lynn Abrams.

On Straight Razor Designs, it says the strip comes with the following modules:

2 Pieces Hard Wool Felt

1 Piece Straight Razor Designs Premium 1 Leather

1 Piece Straight Razor Designs Scrub Leather

1 Straight Razor Designs 15 Carat .5 Diamond Spray

The site also gives the option of getting extras modules.

I'm pretty new to straights, so I'm not sure if I need extra pads, but since I don't live in the US and a relative on vacation is bringing it to me, I'd like your opinions.

So far I've got a King 1K, a Norton 4K/8K and a Shapton Pro 12K.

Currently I'm using a 2" cowhide strop made in Germany.

So do you think I need extra pads or sprays? SRD has CrOx and .25 diamond spray.

How should I use the pads both daily and when honing? Do you use hard wool, scrub leather and five leather before every shave?

Thanks for any opinions!

Cheers!
