I got my first straight yesterday. "Shave ready" thought I kind of doubt you guys would think it such. Have no fear though, I have a razor on the way today that has just been professionally honed, I should have it soon.

So being the curious (and stropless) creature that I am, I decided to do some basic reading on strops, materials, the like. Turns out I have a new cotton webbing belt and a new dressy leather belt. TA-DA!! Makeshift strop.

Opinions?
