Thread: New to Stropping

I am on a quest to get me a Strop and I have decided to take my time on finding the right strop for me I can tell that one of my more used razors that i have been using is starting to become less sharp and wanted to get you guys opinion on what would be a good beginner strop but something that i wont grow out of. I have been looking at the SRD strops and was looking for one that i don't need all the creams and others things just something simple and to the point
thanks
Justin

Any of the strops from SRD will serve you just fine...no creams and other things required...just the palm of your hand
I have a Red Latigo and The Natural and love em both.

I have been looking at getting the natural for a while i think i may go and check it out

One really nice thing about the SRD strops, is that you can buy the entry level natural to start out with, and when you are done slicing up the natural and got your stropping down, you can replace the leather with one of their "hi-end" leathers.

cool thanks I did see how they can be changed out and that is what i was thinking about doing

I have a few Tony Miller strops that i LOVE...i added the practice strop and used that so i wouldn't nick the good one up and it worked great! now i use the practice strop as my travel strop when i go out of town!

I'm not a big fan of endorsing things, but I can't think of a better purchase than ANY SRD strop. They are exactly what came to mind when you said you didn't want to grow out of it.

+1 for SRD. I recently picked up a Roo strop. Thin and supple.
