Thanked: 1Dragging up an old post, but since I'm looking into this, I figured others might also.
I have just started looking into stropping compounds and am looking for something simple (read inexpensive and works). I ended up running across this patent in the process:
Patent US1602437 - Razor-strop dressing - Google Patents
"the graphite will maintain the strop pliable and prevent cracking or breaking thereof," so someone at one time thought it actually helped the strop.
I also hear rumors of using glass as a hone, and even rumors of it working far better than expected.
For a good idea of how effective compounds are, I ended up running across this blog a couple days ago where a guy takes a blade with a couple notches out of it and puts it under the microscope:
