DIY Strop Felt balsa or for diamond paste
So I have spent the better half of this morning reading about these different strops you can make. And I just want to make sure I understand and maybe get more info about the advantages and disadvantages to each type. Also maybe some links on DIY strops. Now I am fairly new to the straight razor world and SRP I'm a month into this. Being the DIY kind of person I am I want to make a strop. Balsa seems like it would be the easiest to make as long as long as you can make the wood flat. I have read that balsa wood can be harsh on an edge with diamond paste especially if you are a newbie like myself. So if there is a good DIY balsa link I would appreciate that. Felt sounds like something I'm leaning towards because from what I've read it will work best with the diamond paste (of course correct me if I'm wrong) I couldn't really find a DIY felt strop but I'm sure there is one out there... I was contemplating of either making a 2 sided or 4 sided felt strop I dunno if there are really any downsides between the both of them. I guess I'm just trying to pick some brains and get some ideas and come up with something that will best suit me... As always thank you for taking the time on reading this and making all your suggestions! I have really grown fond of this community....
