What’s the best way to propagate this cactus?

I want to try and propagate my oldest plant but I don’t know how and I really don’t want to experiment with trial and error on this guy.
5” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
I had a fuzzy cactus like yours and I propagated it by cutting off the paddles I wanted, let them sit and callous for 3 days, then put them in soil. Keep them out of bright sunlight and no water for 2-3 weeks. The. Slowly start moving it to sunnier and sunnier and begin giving it small amounts of water but mostly it’s ok for it to to be mostly dry. After about a month they should have good little roots.
