strop paste?

so, i've got a leather strop (actually leather with linen on the backside of it), but i haven't used it in a few years and haven't conditioned it in as long, so it's in need of conditioning. i used to have a small container of strop paste, but i have no idea where it went to. anyone happen to know if i can just use plain old saddle soap or mink oil to condition the leather?

(one of my knives pissed me off by being dull, so i just sharpened it until i could shave my arm hair with it but didn't want to run it over the strop without putting *something* on it)
