Hey everybody! I just moved back to campus a month ago so I've been a bit to busy to browse the forums.
When I moved up here, I forgot my strop at home (Don't worry, I have it now, lol). Luckily, I still had my shavette style razor, but I still preferred my normal straights. I looked around for something to strop my razors on and I eventually settled on the back cover of my bible. It was very good, flat leather with a great draw, so I was pretty excited about that.
Now my question is, what other alternatives could I use as strops if I ever do something careless like forgetting my strop again. I've heard mention of using newspaper or even the palm of your hand. Anybody have experience or advice for Macgyver'd strops?
