ok, now that I have your attention. lets have some fun. I have been over in China for the last 10 days and still 5 to go. on Day one I left my new strop at a hotel in Shanghai.
I brought over some items to keep me entertained I will list them off.
1) norton 4/8
2) small Thuringin hone
3) 5 Straights 4 of which my plan is to hone my hone skills, one shave ready.(J.R.&Sons wedge)
4) one portable DMT for lapping
5) small piece of 1/8 plywood to tape my Thurinin for protection in flight.
6) normal luggage with nylon webbed straps. ( shiney thin leather belt ) tried it, didn't help.
7) normal hotel items. IE Chinese Newspaper
so item #7 got me to thinking from reading the newly infamous thread going on. I wondered if I could really use my norton 4/8 as a flat plate and some chinese newspaper to really do all that good of a job? it's in the WIKI after all.
based on the items I have at hand. what would you use?
This thread is mainly for fun, but does bring up a good question. What would be good for traveling that is available at hotel instead of bringing over a high end strop to risk losing? and the hard part is what would work best, not just good enough.
