Thread: First Strop Purchase... Assistance required.

Well my first razor (a shave ready wapi) is ordered.. and now I need to sort out a strop.

So I have decided to get one of Tony's strops (and most likely one of the higher-end ones with a practice strop as well.. as I like to buy once and once only)

The only issue I have is picking which one.. do I go horsehide/linen or dual leather, or latigo... 3" or 2"... tbh I have not got a clue.

Also is there a reason to not go with Leather handles.. how do you normally hold yours

Opinions please (Oh and when I get round to honing I'll pickup the norton 4000/8000 as my starting point so thats sorted !)

Cheers

Matt
