I recently started bringing a SR with me when I travel. In the past I left my straights at home and carried a DE or SE.
I thought it would be a bit of fun to begin a series on the contents and tips and tricks of the essential straight razor travel kit. This first discussion is about the strop. On my last trip I brought a board strop with me. I wrapped it in a towel to protect the surface. I decided to leave my nice hanging strop at home. I also thought I could just use a phone book or newspaper instead of carrying leather if I wanted to travel light.
When you travel with a SR what do you bring with you for a strop? Do you have any lessons you have learned about travel strops?
