Hi Guys,

I am think of making my own padle strop but dont have the time to do it out of scratch or the skills. After purchasing the whole SR set (and I mean the works) my budget is low.

I found this on ebay new:

Leather strop extra wide for batter stroapping G68 on eBay, also, Barber Shop Shaving, Vanity Perfume Grooming, Collectables (end time 08-Apr-09 03:34:23 BST)

I like the fact that it is 3" wide. I am thinking of asking Chris L for some CO (.5 grid?) and eventauly the other side with diamond paste (.25 grid). Is this a good padle for this purpose? As you can see the price is ok.

Where could I get the diamond paste?

Thanks in advance
