Hey everyone!
I'm new to the world of straight razor shaving (and the forum) and am very excited to get my first razor and strop set! I've done a fair amount of research (or so I think) to start off on the right foot. I have everything I need to start (I've been using the Four Elements of a Perfect Shave for over a year now), minus strop and razor. I have my heart set on the Thiers-Issard Spartacus (I keep reading "if you find a razor you like, get it, since the world over seems to be in short supply") and strop combo from Vintage Blades LLC, but couldn't find anything about the stop itself. Does anyone have any experience with their strops, or suggestions for other strops? I've read good things about SRD strops, and would not consider going with one of their kits as 'settling', SRD just seems to be out of stock with most of their razors. Any and all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
