I know this question has been asked in the past, but it has been a while and this is in hopes there are more Shapton 30K users out there now.

I currently use the Shapton 16K as a finisher, followed up by 5-10 strokes on chrom-ox. I can shave fairly comfortably off the 16K, but prefer the extra smoothness of finishing w/chrom-ox.

My question for you 30K users is this: do you find the 30k provides a smooth edge without wanting to go to the chrom-ox, or do you still go to some type of paste afterwards?

Thanks in advance,

JC
