Now there is the magic strop paste to find to try out

I don't think I know that one. Where can I get it? I might even contact the manufacturer if it works.

I you copied the text correctly, I find it confusing. It says the dark side preparation is free of grit, which would seem to be pure leather. I assume the other side must have grit and doesn't require honing. Am I understanding this right?

I take it to mean there is a preparation on it that is free of grit.
