Chromium Oxide vs. Diamond Paste
I've read alot about chromium oxide and diamond paste. It seems alot of members here prefer the the chrom ox over the diamond paste as it results in in a smoother, more comfortable shaving edge. I'd love to hear some more opinions and details about this. In terms of shaving performance, how is a .5 diamond paste going to differ from a .5 chrom ox? Also, I'm interested in how many people drop all the way down to the .25 diamond paste. I have heard that this results in an edge that is too sharp for many, but that the edge can be calmed down a great deal by stropping on newspaper. I'm interested if this has any validity. One more question, what is the best source for chromium oxide?
