GRIT OR MICRON EQUIVALENCES: Really there is not any exact equivalence between whetstone microns or sandpaper grit and Compound level of hardness. What I can assure is that having our 3 different Compounds you will have a wide range of polishing abrasive pastes, from the Coarse Black to the Extra Fine White, passing through the Medium Universal Fine Green.
I have asked to my compound supplier in U.K. several times and he confirmed that doesn’t exist any equivalence. I could offer some grit equivalences from my own but I like to be very pernickety and serious with data I give to my fellow clients.
White and Green compounds are infinitely finer than any stone, think that these are pastes, not stones!! Every step in the art of sharpening is very important, using a good whetstone first is very important and finish the sharpening with a good compound on a leather strop will bring your edges to the highest level of a razor sharp. But please take into account that these are different and complementary procedures, none can replace the other.
Green and White compounds are closer each other, fine and extra fine, you will notice more difference with the Coarse Black, so use the Black (if you have it) for a dull or not too sharp edge. The White is the finest, so use it the last one to finish your blade. If you only have our Medium Fine Universal Green is a perfect option to use only this color, because is the most universal one.

The function is to polish the edge and work off any burr left behind by sharpening stones.The leather strops can be loaded with our Green Compound.
◙ Using a Strop. Strops are frequently used with polishing compounds, the extremely fine abrasives paste that give a mirror polish to an edge. Start by applying it to the surface of the strop, no need to cake it on, just do it like coloring with a crayonHold the bevel against the surface of the strop with LIGHT PRESSURE and move the blade away from the cutting edge. Turn the blade over and do the same on the other side.Never move the blade toward the cutting edge as it will cut into the strop resulting in dulling of the edge and damage to the leather.
