I have a natural combo (blue/yellow) coticule on the way, I have a four-sided paddle strop, some TI white paste and some Hand-American Chromium Oxide powder. I am thinking of getting some diamond pastes and have a couple questions:

1. Since the TI white paste is 10k in grit, would it make sense to go to that off of the coticule?

2, What would I use between the TI white paste and the Chromium Oxide?

3. Would a diamond paste, negate the coticule smooth edge?
