I use either a Tormek leather honing wheel, a 1x30 leather belt or paper wheel for honing. I have strops with 3 to 6mu aluminum oxide and 1mu Tech Diamond Tools pollycrystaline paste. I have tested different pastes and like the results I get from the paste.
My First question is are emulations better for stropping? Why?
Second question is Monocrystalline or pollycrystaline?
I just watched a video stating Monocrystalline gives more consistent results as the Monocrystalline particles don't fracture like pollycrystaline does.

What do you think?
Emulation or paste, polly or mono diamonds?
