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!

But that does't look like the lemmy logo:

This was my first result with carefree prompting:

Bing's insistence on combining shaving-related prompts with beards is puzzling 😅
