Which Strop to purchase?
I am kind of new to this. Yet, I am pretty sure I have learned the stropping tecnique and have it down. I am looking for a good strop and want to know what kind would be recommended as a good quality strop with clothe on the back. One that will do the job and not damage my blades.
I don't mind a used strop, just looking for whats best. Any advice or experience...I have read on here with the reviews....just want some more personal experience for advise. Thanks

Thanked: 39I also have the Premium IV, it's great. Thinking of also getting a Premium I, as so many people seem to like it.

As far as the job it does there is no difference among critters or finishes as long as it's a quality strop. The different types just have a different feel. You might prefer one over the other but you won't know that until you use them.

I understand and could recommend the Jemico Prima Rindleder strop. There was a thread a while back and some experienced guys thought they were the same product as Dovo. They are the best for new shavers, and I recommend them. You should have many choices on Ebay, But the last one I bought had free shipping and was 45 bucks or so for the long one. A shorter one will do the trick as well for less.. All you must do is rub your palm on the leather for a while and strop. Good leather! Good luck!

I rest my case.
