Thread: What the better choice for a beginner?

Ok, so I have done a bit searching before posting this but couldn't come up with a solid answer to my question. I have (or so it seems) limited choices of strops at the moment unless ordering one from abroad where, let's face it, the possibilities are staggering and somewhat daunting for a freshman. I've narrowed might criteria down to 3 high quality strops. Now I know people say buy a cheaper strop for your because you will damage it but I want the best for my razor(s). So I'm looking at a 3" dovo extra wide single side only ($140) a dovo 1.75 double side leather canvas ($84) or a dovo 2" double made from russian leather ($129). I've read things about 3 inch strops curving and the smaller ones being harder to use for those than have never x stopped before. I hate buying stuff only to get on the forum with an issue and everyone says "well you probably woulda been better going this way".

Thanks in advance
