    I'm sure if you emailed Neil Miller or SRD or any of the websites that sell strops you could convince them to sell you just a linen strop.

    Strop linen is not that easy to find. SRD does not have linen but their felt is perfect for the modular. You can purchase a piece of the finest linen available from The Superior Shave. Jarrod has replacement pieces of Torolf's linen for his "Scrupleworks" strops. I added a hanger set to one end and love mine.

    And in thinking a little more about it I am thinking you may negate the effectiveness of the linen by fixing it to a stiffer magnetic
    surface to make it work on your modular strop. I could be wrong but I believe the flexibility of linen used as a hanging strop is key to it's best performance. Anyway, good luck.

    Just this last summer Cangooner acquired the linen from Tony Miller.
    Edit: That was for a matching Tony Miller 3" hanging strop, not a modular one.

    I'm not looking for linen for the modular paddle just a hanging linen strop to add to the mix. Thanks everyone for the help.
