I think you probably can't buy it in quantities that are not way more than is needed for the strop. But machinist supply catalogs or lappidary supply stores would be cheaper than anywhere that stells it to the knife and razor market.

At work I noticed it was about 1/3 less at mcmaster-carr(the machining catalog company we order from) than from classic shaving.

Of course you probably can't find anything else there that would be useful for straight razors, other than say making them
