I'm actually using an old trick, not a regular paste. A prepared strop might be a better description. I use lead from a pencil, on just a cheapo leather strop, first applied to a scrap of paper and then the paper rubbed lightly against the strop. It is quite fine, I believe I heard it could compare to something like 50k. Don't take my word for that tho - but it is a fine grit indeed. Comparing to a regular strop paste I can understand it sounded unusual, I should have specified in my original post.
