Find a barber supply place, they sell strops, if you can't find one of those places, here is a decent place on the net:

For leather sharpening, I have a little 1 x 30 belt sander that several places sell leather belts in that size. It does work well.

As the Razor sharp, generally that is a high carbon steel blade, you can do it with a combination of stones, including a black hard Arkansas stone, the the leather belt on the sander.

There is another level above razor sharp, it is called scary sharp. THis is a level of sharpness that is beyond razor and surgical sharp, if you try to shave the hair off your arm with such a sharpened blade, you will remove a layer of skin and not even feel it until you see the blood. :rolleyes:
