Can I use a old leather belt for my first strop. Im getting this wet shave down with my DE and trying to move over to the straights very bottom dollar. So my plan is to pick up a straight on the classifieds and use a old leather belt till. I can upgrade to a SRD paddle and new straight for my b-day in a couple mouths. So can it be done. Also what's up the the poor man kit I have seen at whipping dog any good?
