What strop paste to use?

[Steelspike]

Hi all,
I have been using my cut throat straight out of the box for a few weeks now and it has become quite too blunt to use. Obviously it needs stropping, but I am at a loss as to what type of paste to use. I have a 2 piece strop, one piece is 3mm brown full grain leather, the other piece seems to be a 2mm soft black fabric backed(artificial?) leather. What grade of paste would people recommend to use on which piece of my strop?
Regards,
Andi

this is the place all straight razor honing/stropping questions are answered

but, I like to use Chrome Oxide paste its green, it will refresh an edge as long as it isn't too far gone.. if so, you may need some honing done.. post this question at the link above and you will have tons of suggestions.
Oh and Welcome to B7B Andi!
