Hey all. So i have yet to purchase my strop yet even though I have completed my first shave with my new razor. So I am at odds as to were to even start considering all the nylon webbing, foam, the different leathers one could use, paddle vs hanging. Just seems to be so much info.

I went to a place in my neighborhood that handles very fine Japanese cooking knives and they have a double sided leather paddle strops that they use for the knives there which are the sharpest kitchen knives I have ever had the graces to hold. Any reason why one of these units wouldn't work?

I appreciate any advice
