Hello...I posted this earlier but think it may have been overlooked because of where it was. The question would be...

Traveling with a leather strop can be a chore. Yes, I know there are strops built especially for rolling up and sticking in a kit but my query would be is such a thing REALLY necessary? Can a razor be stropped effectively on a strip something other than leather (linen, fine and-or coarse cotton weave fabric) or something similar and still maintain an effective edge for a week or so while on the road? Preferably something without CrOx or sprays/pastes as I just don't like them. Thanks in advance for any information......
