I bought one of those for my brother and agree that it is a very good strop.

Yep good advice and learn to shave and strop first , you need to know what a razor should shave like before you jump straight to honing , as you mentioned your on tight budget, and hones is not cheap ,, spend a little money on a decent strop, SRD. has some fine ones that are inexpensive, and you can change out the leather if you do mess it up beyond repair, but if you take your time and pay attention you shouldn't nick or cut it, I haven't cut a strop yet and I,m in this 2 years. Good luck. Tc

If you look at the SRD Latigo, consider the 3" version of it. It was helpful for me when learning how to strop, to have the extra width. It is a very nice strop.
