Strop Buying Guide for Straight Razor Beginners Stephen Davidson commented on
one of my videos recently and he said can you do a Strop Buying Guide for
Beginners, beginners often get information overload looking at their
first strop so any help you can offer would be awesome and Stephen thank you
so much for your comment and this is for you so here we go I'm going to be
demonstrating with my ZY Grandslam okay this is three inches long from here to
here and this is thirteen sixteen alright and for a first drop I got this
just generic little strong okay now one of the good points is it actually does
have a swivel which is nice and it has a handle which I also like now here's the
problem with this see that this is a two inch drop versus a three inch razor
alright and now see this okay these are the reasons why you do not spend a whole
lot of money on that first drop okay there's no reason you're probably just
gonna cut it up anyway like I've done this one okay this isn't terrible but it
does happen now I also put curl marks on the back of
this okay don't do that it just it's not worth it
okay go ahead you can leave the suede side and you can go ahead and use it to
kind of clean off dry up your straight razor and then use the smooth side okay
to actually straighten out that edge and get a good shave so now that is a two
inch straw which I'm not going to recommend I really don't think it's a
great idea now I've got this three inch drop now I
don't even know if you can buy these brands anymore so don't even look at
that necessarily I can't escape the swivel here which is great and it's got
the handle which I also like and see I've nicked it up a bit now this one is
a bit larger alright and okay just wait on the back look at that no crow marks
alright so don't do it you don't need to it's not a big deal not to start with
anyway alright and now the three inch strop with the 3 inch razor okay so as
you're looking at this I want you guys I want you to see it okay see how that is
going to be much easier than trying to do extracts on a two inch strop now a
strop like of this you can buy something that looks almost identical to this and
you can get on Amazon for like 16 bucks everything you need to do as a beginner
it would be three inches wide perfect okay now also chef's knife to go
have something very similar to this as well okay and it's 20 bucks but it has
been compared to a dovo alright and it is smooth leather one the one side and
suede on the other with this same type of design okay as this one as far as how
the handle and swivel or wanna in twenty bucks at chef
nice to go all right yeah what I use is this 30 degrees drop
all right now you can't actually buy these anymore but here is what it looks
like now on Amazon and you can check it out alright and these are going to be
about 65 bucks okay you give or take a little bit but it's got this wonderful
clamp and hook got nice swivel okay beautiful and it's got these kind of
handles paddle handles one they swivel all right which is awesome
now with this 30 degree strop you know you can do perfectly fine with this get
this beautiful smooth leather side right now this is two-piece so it's also got a
fabric side yeah if I were you to start with at least you don't have to get
really expensive you can just go with with something less expensive all right
now this has also got the suede side and now that does have chrome ox on it but I
get to put it there okay that has chrome locks on it because I put it one the
fabric side all right so now on that fabric side it will rub off one the
suede leather side so I always put the chrome ox on the inside of the fabric
because if you don't it's going to make a mess and it's going to get on
everything so always put it on the inside all right
and then on the outside you've got this beautiful fabric all right so now what
I'm gonna suggest is go ahead and buy something you can afford just keep it
simple no big deal all right hey
thank you so much I really hope this is helpful now for all of you experienced
guys out there and gals go ahead and in the comments go ahead and add your
suggestions as well we're trying to keep this simple for the beginner and have a
great day thank you so much for watching really appreciate you and all you do you
