I'm new to straight shaving and I dropped to a local store specialized in fine wood working to have a look at the honing stone and I bought this paddle strop sold for 13$ CA

Has anybody ever used such a strop. It has a regular leather side and a fuzzy one with some kind a red compound.
I should get an Illinois strop any time soon, should I keep using this strop?
