Input would be appreciated.

I find myself needing to recommend strops to folks new to using a straight. These folks aren't hobbyists, so I want to recommend new manufacture.

Currently, I recommend a Whipped Dog starter strap to start with before moving to a quality strop. I have a quality strop, though I think the maker may be getting out of the business.

Not sure if this is true, though I think of a good strop being $75 plus.

Please educate me!

Thanks!
