Spend more time on the finer grits and strop, strop, strop. Sounds like you might have a little tiny wire edge you need to knock off.
I would use this advice with a bit of caution....... depending on your skill level/knowledge with the strop, and what edge you are getting on the lower grits before moving on.
Often, in sharpening issues, it is partly not taking enough time to apex the edge fully on the lower grits, and moving on to higher grits before the edge is fully apexed that causes frustration.
Stropping is it's own deal, and frequently, people who are stropping are actually rounding their apex.
Leather density, pressure, technique and even leather orientation (grain out or rough out) affect it.
I've had people send me "scary sharp" edges that were over stropped and actually a bit rounded in all their polished, shiny glory. Cut very poorly
One thing that helped my stropping, and understanding proper technique was using sandpaper on a hard glass backing. It removes the "rounding" and pressure issues from leather.
A hard, cased/compressed leather strop is a completely different animal from a softer thicker piece of leather glued to a piece of wood.
I have a strop that I made, with whole grain thick leather belt. It is not cased/compressed and has a night and day different feel from my proper, designated strop (barbers razor strop).
I have to use a much lighter touch, less pressure, and pay more attention to angle and technique with that "ghetto" home made strop than I would with a quality one. Very easy to overstrop/round the apex on a knife.
I find that once I get a proper edge on stones or ceramic, the strop does not add "bite" to the edge. If I use it, I will do fewer passes, paying more attention to technique and get better results than if I do a bunch of stropping.
I also find, after some time maintaining an edge with a strop, I need to freshen the edge up to re-establish the crisp apex and get a better preforming edge for my cutting.
