Just wondering if anyone here makes their own stropping paste? If you do, what do you use to add to the abrasive dust. I have been adding Neatsfoot oil to some diamond dust to then use on my leather strop but the diamond dust settles out on the bottom of the bottle if I don't use it often or shake it up. Is there something better that you would recommend?

I am about to make another leather paddle strop and hope to make some paste using some saphire dust and would like to try something else besides the neatsfoot oil.

Cheers
