You should see my real pic...
This is after my first straight shave...
You said you ordred the B & B strop already?
If you didnt then dont consider it as its almost nothing good about it, and the brand should generally be avoided
Now that you have bought it (and cant get out of the deal) that one looked to actually have a real fabric side and the leather is real so it can be made to work
Yes i know im a bt negative on that brand:p
I have also tested some strops in the same price range that are actually good...
Sorry i didnt notice you bought another one, my cooments ofcourse dont apply to that one
you have the one with vinyl type fabrick side?
it wont last werry long but if you use that on both sides it will work somwhat ok
leather part is probably too hard and wrinkly to be any use.
But you might have been lucky and gotten a usable one of sort
Mine was stiff and wavy so it would only make contackt at some high spot
You should probably feel a better strop before you can decide if it can be used or not
these strops are cheap and in my experience work pretty good

Um... well... I'll say it. Buy a good strop. If you get one that has replacement leather components, it's not that much more expensive, and you'll have significantly better results. I will say I've not used the B&B strop, but I can say that I've used several strops in that price range that were brutal.
