got a bit of a dilemma....i have only just started to use a straight razor and was thinking about going out and buying a set of nortons/naniwas. But i read a lot of advice about giving it a good 6 months shaving to get used to it, before diving into the honing side of things. So now i am wondering what would be best in terms of general maintenance for keeping a really keen edge.

Some of the ideas i have thought about are:
- a four sided strop with various diamond pastes (theinvisible edge do what seems like a great set of diamond pastes and four sided strop)
- the poor mans strop kit from whipped dog
-a 10k/12k naniwa
- just a really nice linen/leather strop

What does everyone think would be best? my max budget is ~£100. would a substantial pasted strop routine be more useful than a finishing stone? or is a simple strop enough to keep a well honed edge for months on end?

Thanks!
