Your profile does not indicate where you are located, so mrlandpirate assumed you were looking for a USA vendor. Tony Miller does indeed make great strops at a fair price. His "plain vanilla" and "plain chocolate" strops are quite suitable for beginners. Perhaps your signifying a price of 60$ rather than the usual $60 used in the USA was a clue. If you will send another post indicating your locality, perhaps someone who lives in that part of the world can direct you to a suitable vendor.
When you are new to straight razors, it is quite likely that you will nick the surface of your first strop. It takes a while to develop the muscle memory needed to strop without occasional mishaps. Practice with a dull blade such as a butter knife before you try to strop a razor. With a poor stropping technique, you can damage both the strop and the edge of the razor.
