    Default cerium oxide

    Regarding Cerium Oxide as a honing agent, you folks speak highly of this and recommend getting it in its purest form. Can someone provide me with a web site where one can get some? I know some of you have mentioned SRD, but if that is Straight Razor Design, I did look at the site but didn't see where CO was offered for sale.
    Regards

    You need the High Quality Super White CeO2

    try Ocean State Abrasives 401-789-9550

    sales@ OSabrasives.com

    you want 99.99% pure and it is .30~ very very very soft it has nearly zero cutting ability but is will smooth the edge right off the hones beautifully

    I know some of you have mentioned SRD, but if that is Straight Razor Design, I did look at the site but didn't see where CO was offered for sale

    There is a difference between CrOx and CeO2 very few SR peeps use the CeO2...
    CrOx the green stuff is available all over and it varies too

    most is .50~ some out there is softer and .30~


    I would not call either a "Honing Agent" they are used on a strop to smooth up an edge off the hones or when they tug a bit with some of them

    As with all abrasives, Cerium Oxide is available in a variety of quality levels and micron sizes. Be sure that what you purchase meets your needs.

    Glen sent me some crox (99.9%, I believe). I used it on a polyester hanging strop after finishing on a 12k Nani, smooth, smooth, smooth. Didn’t add much to how keen it was if at all. It did add a noticeable amount of comfort though.
