    Default Rethinking newbie strops

    Since newbies are frequently trying to get into this with the least initial outlay, they seem to gravitate towards a pasted paddle strop with one unpasted side for daily stropping. While this works, it's much more time-consuming stropping with a paddle strop than with a hanging strop and this is especially true when just starting out. Should we instead be recommending a hanging strop for the daily stropping routine instead of a mixed-use paddle? It's more expensive up front since the newbie still needs the pasted paddle for touch-ups, but might this be worth it if it reduces the likelihood of the newbie giving up in frustration?
