Based on the threads I've read, CrO2 seems to be preferred to diamond paste for a sharp but not harsh finish honing step.

So, where can I get some? I saw several references to Hand American, but the website has been closed since 13 Aug while distribututors are lined up. Furthermore, it seems they may not be carrying CrO2 anymore.

Are there other sources for the razor crowd? Is paste better to look for rather than powder?

Thanks,
Ray
