    Classic Shaving has 9.0, 1.0, 0.5 and 0.25 micron diamond pastes. I've personally only used the 0.25 micron after chromium oxide.

    I only use 1.0,0.5,0.25 and use Chromium after 0.25. I no longer use the 1.0 very much because I bought a 16K Shapton to take its place and it has helped the razor stay sharper, longer.

    Just to put a fly in the ointment, the pastes I bought had particle sizes given as, for example:
    D151 = 1.5 to 1.0 microns
    D105 = 1.0 to 0.5 microns
    D05 = under 0.5 microns

    I wonder if this is a more honest way of describing the paste, or whether it indicates an inferior production method. They certainly work as expected anyway.
