Newbie here. I'm contemplating a Whippeddog for my first straight. (i've been using DE Gillette for 2 years now). Forgive, my ignorance who is Glen and where can I find him?
http://www.gemstarcustoms.com Excellent person to deal with and has some fantastic affordable restored straight razors.
I'll second the recommendation for Glen. He's known here at TSD as gssixgun. He's done some fantastic work for me. And welcome to the Den! Be sure to sign up for our January Newbie Give-Away!
I didn't use the poor man's strop very long, before I wanted a wider and better strop. It's okay for one to learn to strop on a bit and nick up, but you will want something much better soon after you get the hang of things.
