Sorry, I should have been more specific

I have in my possession a book that is 121 years old this year. It is actually a cookbook that includes may home remedies and such. It recommends the following, and I quote:
"Wet the strop with a little sweet oil, and apply a little flour of emery evenly over the surface."
Just thought that I'd share. Anyone got any thoughts?
When I said: "Are pastes new to straight razor stropping?" I should have ended with NO! I was simply trying to point out that pastes/coatings have been in use for years. Glen pointed out some very important facts about the improvements through the years!
I hope that this clarifies my post! I'm sorry for any confusion.
