I have a strop on back order (probably going to be several weeks until it arrives). I got my first straight razor in the mail last night. I have waited over six years until taking the plunge into straight shaving. My willpower to resist the urge to shave with this new razor is fading fast.
I have an old leather weightlifting belt that is about 6" wide. The steel buckle serves perfectly as a handle. Is it possible to use this in the meantime without damaging my new razor? Is there any thing I need to be aware of outside of normal strop use?
