Hello to all!
I am about to start shaving with a straight razor, and while I was looking for a strop, a friend of mine offered me to make me one.
He and his father have a place and they have some experience in working with leather and making belts etc.
So, I would like to go for a two-sided strop; one side leather, the other canvas.
I would really appreciate some thoughts/input on:
1. The type of leather that I should tell him to source. Moreover, the treatment that the leather should have, and its dimensions.
2. The type of canvas that is needed.
3. Anything else that must be taken care of, if any.
Thank you in advance for your help.
