Question about sources

Does anyone know a place that sells lapping films needed for honing either by the kit of grits needed or by 1 sheet at a time? I recently acquired 8 vintage straights and wanted to work them into shape.

Also, anyone have any suggestions on a good starter strop?

That thread has tons of info, which if you're serious about using lapping film is worth taking the time to peruse.

As far as a good starter strop I would recommend something inexpensive, such as the one from whippeddog.com . Most everyone ends up damaging their first strop so you want something useable, but save the investment for when you have more experience and you're sure you're going to stick with it
