I've been shaving with a Straight Razor for about 6 months and I am really enjoying it (I'm definitely still a beginner). I have a SRD strop and love it because you can change the leathers or fabrics instead of buying a new strop. I started out with the 3" Black Latigo and the 3" Webbed Fabric and liked it but I nicked up the latigo real bad while learning how to strop. Lynn recommended the English Bridle leather as a replacement and I really like the draw on this. My question is I don't feel a difference whether I use the Webbed Fabric or not. So has anyone used two different leathers to strop instead of a fabric? Like using the Bridle in conjunction with the Roo or Buffalo or even the Latigo? Or do the other fabrics that are available with the SRD strop work better than the webbed fabric (SRD premium or Hard Pressed Wool Felt)? I have a paddle strop also and use the diamond spray on the felt and that works well but not for daily use. I guess I don't know what the fabric is supposed to do. I know you are supposed to do it first before the leather and that they are also used for pastes and sprays but for daily use what do they do?
