Ready to take the leap - recommendations?

Ok - I'm eagerly awaiting my gift of the gods...I mean Glen's generous goodwill...and I'll need a strop to properly appreciate it and enter this cutthroat world...I mean wonderful world of straight-edge shaving.

Does it matter what strop I select to begin with? Any recommendations for my low-cost entry before I become infected with SAD (strop-acquisition-disorder)?

You check with Tony Miller and Kenrup (both can be found in the Vendor's Corner forum at the bottom). Also look in the classifieds.
