Need help picking out my first strop
All this is great advice. There are people that are KNOWN to put edges on blades here advertised on this website. You first blade and shave need to be with a sharp razor. My first one was not. First impressions are very important in this sport.
My advice.
1. Send it to a respected honemiester or meet up with one from this site that has a proven track record so you know you are sharp.
2 . Buy a practice strop $15-$20 this will save your "real" strop. First then get a latigo.
3. Read everything you can on here.
