    I haven't tried these films but I'm tempted. How would the diamond spray at SRD compare to the film products. I have been experimenting with CrO powder dusted on printer paper stuck to glass. I could do the same with the diamond spray.

    For starters Matt the spray and the CrO are stropping compounds. lapping films are actually honing. I look at honing as edge defining and stropping as refining what ever your honing accomplished. If I were looking at it as an artist the honing is a line and the stropping is blending shadows. I am learning that in the end it is all about the shave, what you like and how it all works with your shaving technique.IMHO.
    Why not get some lapping films and combine that technique with your CrO that you are already using?
