I do realize that this is a bit like asking “what’s the best razor?”, but what strop should I start with for my imminent Moarteen Koraat?

All I know about strops is they come in leather, cotton, probably some other materials… and I seem to remember hearing denim works fine.

I’m in the USA, but buying from overseas isn’t out of the question.

Thanks!

    I would look for 2 things

    • width: you want to get a strop that is large enough to fit the whole edge (8 cm/3 inches should do it)
    • you probably want a leather plus linen strop, and not only leather

    I have a Duke City strop, and it’s perfectly serviceable

      That’s two votes for Duke City. Sounds like a winner.
