I've been at this str8 shaving thing a few months now and have been using a Whipped Dog Poorman's strop. I nicked the crap out of it initially, but my stropping technique seems to have improved to the point where I think I'm ready for a *real* hanging strop.
Thing is, there are do many brands, types (english bridle, russian leather, latigo, etc.), sizes (2", 2.5", 3", etc.) and combos (w/ linen, felt, nothing) that I'm not sure what to get (mainly because I don't know what the pros/cons of these differences are).
I was hoping you experienced guys could at least point me in the right direction.
