Thread: Where to get a good strop

Hello all. I'm brand new to straight razor shaving and after doing a little bit of research I found you guys and am pretty happy with the community. I know next to nothing about this whole thing short of what i've read on this website and of course i found it to late. Unfortunately instead of doing research i rushed right out and bought some zeepk razors only to find out that they are worthless. Luckily i found this out before using them so now i plan to use them to teach myself how to hone. I did however order a razor off of the classifieds and am anxious for it to arrive. Needless to say i also know nothing about strops and instead of repeating the whole rediculous process i was wondering if y'all had a brand or type of strop that you would recommend and where i could find a decent one for a decent price. Thanks in advance for all advice.

btw this is the coolest thing ever

The Tony Miller strops come highly recommended and they just started to go back on sale today!

Tony is the gold standard for strops here.

Tony Miller is the go to guy for Strops, he's at "thewellshavedgentleman dot com or Don and Lynn at
straightrazordesigns. These are the two I'd recommend for a quality strop. I have both Vintage and new strops myself.
While the vintage one's are nice to have, I prefer the newer ones and the new "Latigo's" are an excellent choice and you will not be disappointed.

In addition to Tony, Don and Lynn sell some great strops!
