After not getting good enough results in using my 12k chinese.
I've decided to try out diamond paste.And I also want to use the cromium sold on straightrazor designs.
I could't find any conclusive info of this on the wiki, so in advance I appologice that I have to be fed the info with a spoon.
I'm not sure as of what order the different pastes should be used.
So far my plan for final polish is:

norton 8k
12k chinese
0,5 diamond
0,25 diamond
Cromium
stropping.

I also have the thiers-issard paste that I'm considering using in one step as well.
I will purchase tony millers 4-sided strop for the purpose.
Any feedback will be greatly appriciated.
Ps: I realise that the poor results comes from poor honing skills, and not the stones.

Thanks.
