    You could apply to the inside of your canvas strop. You want the outside clean for daily use. You will only need a very very small amout. Just dab the tip of 1 finger in and do x's down the strop. Rub it over with a clean cloth or paper towels to remove any excess. Be careful not to contaminate your strop.

    Or get a canvas strop?

    I didn't know that there's a daily application for the canvas stop. What's it used for and how?

    Canvas/linen /felt and other secondary strops are used before leather stropping to start the edge alignment and clean it. Something like 25 linen and 50 leather

    A separate strop for pastes is a good idea due to the contamination issue
