Quick newb strop question...
I used that strop for awhile its a good strop. I stopped using it cause I found I like narrower strops.
With the big mama you will need to learn the x stroke. I recommend learning it I think it really helps.
But if you don't want to learn the x stroke they also sell a big daddy strop that is 3 inches.

Depending on how you are set up for honing/ sharpening your razors and how set you are on a linen/felt/canvas/web strop. Buying the leather and making a couple strops might be the way to go. I use a leather only jemico strop now and sharpen all my razors with a 1k stone and a four sided pasted strop with 9 micron diamond paste, dovo green, red and black.
If your looking for cost effective that is probably the most cost effective way to sharpen your razors.

I am a paste guy so that's what I use and like.
But the most common recommendation is the norton 4k/8k hone
