Two things- first, (dunno why it didn't quote) but I find that after honing more laps on the strop=better. I know I'm not completely alone in this, but I don't know if its a majority or a minority. Try that maybe?

Also- I doubt its an issue because the stone is such a high grit- but after 100 laps maybe a wire edge formed? Did you throw a couple back-hones in there to correct for this?

(Side note- with regards to white paste, why bother using it if its non abrassive? is it a leather conditioner?)
