So, there I was at home with my brand new Dovo Forestal and its default sharpness, and no strop...(I regret the cheap one I ordered and decided to cancel it)
I chatted in SRP before and got suggestions about doing it with a newspaper, it didn't make me happy about it.
But, looking on internet for a strop to buy I've noticed that my Levi's leather belt has a similar qualities as a real strop (in a crude look). I dared to do it (according to many stropping instructions) and ironically I had an improvement on the blade.

Here you can see a picture of the belt and its texture. The leather is soft and about 3mm thick. My idea is to use it until I find a good one with a reasonable price. (I've been also thinking about checking some second hand stores...)
If there is anybody panicking with the sin I committed I'd like to know :)
All comments are very welcome
