Can if find just a Cotton/linen strop without the leather?
Hey ya'll!
I've been loving my Straight Razor Design 2" Red Latigo Strop; But with using pastes I think it would be easier for me if I had 2 separate strops. One cotton/linen and one leather. Are there strops out there that are just cotton/linen? I've been looking and I haven't found any yet...
Thanks!!!

I tried in my previous answer to say that the Superior Shave has some.

Using a separate strop for paste is easier and cleaner. I use separate pasted strop, I do a lot of paste experimenting.
My leather strop has leather and clean linen.
Really you do not need a lot of different paste, for most Chrome Oxide is the only paste you need.
These are just a few.

Or knock up a foamboard paddle, they are quick, easy and cheap.

I'm glad other people do this! I wasn't sure lol but while using my diamond paste I always think...this would be a heck of a lot easier if my strop was separated!

Cotton belts go in thrift stores for $1. They are narrow but work fine for pastes. Each belt is long enough for two strops.

I'd suggest looking for a nearly unused vintage linen like euclid has shown (in the middle) for using without abrasive.
You will be surprised how long a linen of that type will maintain a razor if you use it once a week.
They should be free of loading, and have some sort of trademark on them like "fine weave" or "silk finish".
