Emergency strop

If my strop magically disappeared what would you guys recommend using in a pinch until I get it replaced?

Newspaper folded over a towel rod or the palm of my hand “palm stropping”

I thought about newspaper over a 2x4 stud or even my old leather jacket. Just wasn't sure how wise it'd be. Thanks

Newspaper folded over a 2x4 would be perfect. In fact, newspaper makes a really good stropping surface.

Maybe an old leather belt.
