Hey guys, in preparation for the arrival of my razor I'm trying to figure out whether I'll be better off buying a strop or simply making one myself, i've seen a thread in the strop section where Edhewitt made his own strop from denim and this somewhat inspired me to an extent. The only real problem i face with making my own strop is knowing where to get REAL denim and if it's expensive, i have old jeans but I'm not sure how well the denim will work as a strop compared to leather ( the jeans are very old). So basically, are denim or homemade strops effective or a pile of rubbish?(I trust they are not too rubbish as Ed made one.)
