Thread: Honing powders

I have been reading various info regarding honing with powders like Bill Ellis does with pumice and rottenstone. This thought led me to a rock polishing website where they sell powders like: Rottenstone - Celite - Tripoli Pre-Polish - Cerium Oxide Polish - Tin Oxide polish .

Has anyone had experience with any other powder besisdes rottenstone. According to the Ellis video, powders enhance the edge and eradicate scratch patterns. There has to be at least one shaver out there that has used tripoli or some other powder. Please fill us in about your experience with powders.....
Thanks in advance____________JERRY
