Thiers-Issard Paste

Does anyone know what grit this strop paste is?

EDIT: Sorry. I should've done more research before posting. It's 10,000 grit.

I got this at classic shaving.
"Formulated using both Aluminum Oxide and Diamond Particles as the cutting agents which are suspended in a non-toxic paste bound together with tiny cloth fibers to prevent softening. The edge attained with routine use of this paste is comparable to that achieved with a 10,000 grit barber hone."

And this from a Brother at SRP (Kingreverent).
"I'm using the Thiers Issard paste with excellent results.

Thiers Issard makes a special, broad paddle strop, with on one side a kind of black nappa leather and on th other side a plain tan fine leather.See Rasurpur.de

You should use the paste, holding it like a crayon, and very lightly rubbing on the black nappa leather.
Then use your finger to rub the paste into the leather.

After using my belgian yellow coticule, I lap my str.8 razor 10 times on this paddle (15 for stainless steel). It has 10.000 grit. You can also use it for very fine touch ups of the razor.

I finish afterwards with diamond pastes .50 and .25 on balsa."

I hope this helps.

I will post a pre-edited comment, so as not to have to go back and edit it later.
