You don't have to go big with star strops or any strops, I have gone backwards from wide strops to preferring a strop that is not wider than the razor (strops less wide than a razor don't cup).
Heed the advice, though, of folks here advising against the use of the very cheapest stuff out there, many of us have bought it and the only thing you get when you buy it is hope that it will be good while the strop is still in the mail. Once you get it, the hope is dashed.
