Thanked: 13236Dovo pastes
"Green Sharpening Paste is the coarsest with a particle size
averaging 5-8 microns and should be used on a very dull edge.
Red Sharpening Paste is less coarse with a particle size of 2-4
microns and will refresh a mildly dull edge.
Black Sharpening paste is the most fine at around 1 -2 microns
Yellow Paste has no sharpening qualities and is used as a leather
strop conditioner on your "everyday use" strop.
White Paste is used as an edge polish on the LINEN STROP ONLY!"
Keeping in mind that the Dovo pastes are actually rather soft/mild cutters so the micron sizes are only part of the equation
