I strop only on leather - I don't use pastes and I don't have linen. I do 50 laps on the leather. As far as not using slurry - the way I visualize it is that slurry sits on the stone, so your edge will run into the slurry and that will dull the edge. I don't know if this is a correct theory, and I don't know if it is true in practice because I never use slurry on my finishers. I am very happy with the edges I get, so I feel no need to experiment at this time. My Asagi also has stamps that I don't want to lose, so slurry on the Asagi is out of the question.
I have no idea how my edges compare to .25 diamond because I have never done a comparison.
