I've been thinking about this lately as well, and while questions about pasting strops come up all the time, no one ever seems to say what they use as an "extra" strop for paste. Of course, you could always use the paste on a piece of balsa; I know there are threads on making a homemade balsa strop (just do a search for that at the top of the page). But, I have read recently that some believe that, while the balsa and CrOx will return the blade's keenness, it will also make the edge a little more harsh than pasted fabric. I currently use balsa and may be experiencing something like this (I just sent a few razors to gssixgun, so I'm waiting for them to return before making any conclusions). So, like I said, I've been thinking about pasted strops lately- personally, I wouldn't want that stuff anywhere near my nice leather strop, and the one you bought is particularly nice (and a little expensive). But where to get an extra fabric component? If it were me, I would want one 3 inches wide to make sure I get even blade coverage; I would think that the absolute best thing would be a paddle or bench strop to also make the pressure more even and eliminate the tension variable. For a relatively inexpensive option, I would consider buying a replacement fabric (felt) from star shaving, apply the CrOx crayon, and lay it on a counter/table for stropping. YMMV, but this is what I'm thinking about doing if I indeed find that balsa is making my edges a little harsh. Good luck!
