Thanks. is there a specific latigo strop brand i should go with?

Not that I know of. Did you buy your razor from Art of Shaving? PM me your phone number and we can chat for a bit.

I have the strop that MBrad mentions... it's nice.

Also gotta put in a plug for Larry at whippeddog.com. His kit won't set you back as much, and when you upgrade it'll do well with pastes.
