I’ve constructed a guided sharpener like an Edge Pro using small DMT stones and would like to try a strop after the final diamond stone. I’m planning to use vegetable tanned leather, which is easy to get locally. I’d like to stick with diamond or even CBN perhaps. What are recommended sources for these types of compounds? This is my first foray into this type of sharpening. I’ve been using water stones and Sharpmaker for many years now, but thought I’d try something like this to see if I was missing something.
 
Jende make an emulsion in different grit sizes. I use the 1 micron and it works well. If you are after just one multipurpose grit size rather than getting progressively smaller for hair whittling edges, I'd go with that size.
 
for guided rod sharpening systems like Ruixin Pro III i use the PTS method for stropping.
for compounds, anything you like (wax based ones, not sprays).
