Well I found a nice leather strop that's precharged with strop compound, it is 9 inches by 3 inches and I get 2 of them, One has abrasive compound, the other has a finer compound for about $30 (including shipping)
I don't want to post the link because it may be considered advertising.

Do you know of a Leather Strop for a better price than this?
 
Why buy a pre-charged leather strop? It's going to need charging sooner or later. You might as well get a strip of leather, mount it on wood, but some green polishing compound for your stainless steel blades. Then just rub the compound on your home made strop and it will work well, AND you'll feel a sense of accomplishment every time you use it.
 
I recently bought the Bark River kit, comes with two big compound "crayons" (black & green) and a double sided leather hone. Can be had for ~$40 with shipping. From the same store, you can get just the two compound pieces for ~$25, including shipping.
