gutshot u can make one -i often do for the carving knifes , best way is start with a decent leather strop(clean) i prefer 1 1/2 " wide , a razor needs a rough and a fine (or rather fine and finer )tho i usually use the red jewler's rouge one the most (finer) get a stick of compound and start stroking it on the strop dry ,like sidewalk chalk sorts and filling in large area's) when thoroughly covered take some lite oil ( 3 in 1 works )and oil the strop rubbing the compound deeper into the leather work the ol in and then rub the compound on again , a couple coats followed last with the compound usually works ,do two straps ( fine and finer )then attack handles and a swivel and u will have a geeniwine homemade razor strop ,tho for most use i use it on the edge of a table or board ,
as jerry said there are places on the net that one can buy strops even mugs and brushes etc here's the link to one of my fav's
