Horsehide is a must for those serious about their straight razor. The texture of horsehide offers better "draw", meaning it grabs the edge of the razor and straightens it more effectively, allowing your razor to stay sharp longer.
A strop is a must for your blade. By stropping properly on a regular basis, you can avoid sharpening your razor as often and help it last longer. Sorta like brushing your teeth often to help you avoid the dentist.
