Thread: Mibro compound/paste

Hi !

Has anyone compared Mibro no 6 compound to Hand American Chrome Ox ? Is one better than the other ?

Does anyone know if Japanese Kinife Sharpening ships to Canada ?

Thanks and good day,

McKie

Yes, they do ship overseas.

Cheers,

Many metal polishing pastes can be used with great results on razors, Mother's Wheel Polish, MAAS, etc.

Maybe I misinterpret your post but what I meant was to refine the edge (like people using chrome ox do), not to polish the blade.

Good day

Yep, that's what I meant.

Most metal polishes are perfectly well suited for use as strop pastes as well. You don't really even need a strop to use them, just get some paper, apply metal polish, lay paper on a flat surface (2 to 3 inch wide piece of wood or something similar), strop as you would on leather.

+1 on Russel's posts. I've been a chromium oxide user for a long time, and two weeks ago I tried Mothers' wheel polish followed by about 50 or so laps on plain newspaper. I stropped it up on my hanging strop, and the shave was so smooth I didn't even think about going to my chromium oxide strop.

Done right, using a polishing compound gives fantastic results.

I use Peeks metal polish on newspaper. I think it's the same as MAAS. It's baby blue in colour and smells of amonia.
It does work very well after my coticule.
I do lots of laps on it, it works!

That's the stuff I use to clean and polish all sorts of things, it's the best I've tried so far. I'll give it a try just for fun.

The Mibro is an abrasive though not a cleaning compound it's probably way faster.

Thanks

My pleasure. It makes the spine and bevel very shiny too
