    Your overthinking it and expecting too much "alignment" from a strop. It's only polishing the edge.

    Yea polishing or dressing. Either way you're not really sharpening it just affecting the comfort factor. (OK technically it's sharpening but practically it's not because it's so minor) Stropping on plain leather will not keep a blade sharp.
