I will give the toothbrush a try. I do not use the paste very often and it seems to work fine.

Green compound is often used. Thus is slightly finer than your Tormek paste and can be rubbed in just as you would on a strop. Again you need to apply with each strop process and clean the wheel regularly.
Another one is metal polish paste. This is slightly coarser than the Tormek compound and comes in small tubs. (Try and get the one without ammonia.)
Both of these would be much cheaper than the Tormek compound but in reality the Tormek compound should last a very long time.
