I have a 6 inch length of 3/4x3/4 hardwood that I wrap the paper round so that I can side it toward one end and slightly over by about 1/16-1/8 and run it into the plunge where the overlap works to clean up the the fat and the upstand at the same time. Side the ppaper to the other end and you have another fresh piece ready to go and then the center of the paper for long strokes the length of the blade. Turn the stick a 1/4 turn and there is a fresh fas=ce to work on so there is practically zero waste. I cut the sheet of W&D in 4 and have a drawer with the stacks of paper between dividers with the coarsest at the front so there is no accidental grit drop on the finer grades.
