Thread: Which Herold strop to apply pastes? (Juchten vs Rindleder)

I went to amazon and bought a really cheap leather strop for $25.
It wouldn't have been something I would have wanted as my real strop but to coat with CroOx it was perfect and saved me from potentially writing off one of my decent stops.

Maybe I should have expressed myself clearer.

My points were:
1.) Once I apply paste to a strop there is no going back.
2.) If I have a choice between applying paste onto one of two strops that I already own, I will apply the paste to the one where I don’t have to wonder whether the paste will stick or not.
