According to Ed Simon (Fromm Intl. / Illinois Razor Strop Co.) it's either beeswax or parafin. Apparently IRS used to make strops for Dubl Duck.

Might it be Rosin (Kolophonium)? The stuff violine players put on their bows (fiddlesticks) that's a hard, sticky substance made from resin, is regularly applied to the bow hair to increase friction.
