Recommended strop paste

[yog]

I'm looking for recommendations on strop paste. Pros and Cons ?
Availability to purchase online would be a bonus.

Thanks.

www.knifecenter.com has a Red and Blue paste for stropping. Got them overnighted and only paid for UPS ground. They work great also.

YUP! Me too. White stick on the rough side. Red stick on the smooth side.

The green compound from Lee Valley will do a better job than the red.

Ditto Lee Valley. Their green chromium oxide stropping compound was developed specifically for that purpose. You can mail order it at www.leevalley.com and pay in the Canadian peso, too.

Okay, how about Flitz or Happich Simichrome as stropping compound?
