You really need a hone to touch up the edge. A pasted strop (CrOx) will only help for so long before you are doing more harm than good.

I recently bought a Shapton M5 12k stone to try out and found it to be excellent, as good as the Naniwa SS 12k and at half the price. You just need to know if your SR was honed with tape on the spine and, if so, how many layers so you can do the same. Do 20 strokes on the 12k stone and then 50-60 strokes on your strop and you should find the edge to be much improved.

If you opt for a 12k stone and don't want to fork over the coin for a Naniwa 12k, I have heard nice things about the Shapton M5 12k.
