I might be doing something wrong ; I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me a good way to apply it to the TI strop.

Best regards

I applied it to the "rough" side of my Travel paddle strop. What I did was to apply some heat to the bar of paste (a lighter at a reasonable distance), then apply it to the strop using the bar as a crayon, and once applied, , I apply some more heat to the pasted strop with a blow drier so I could spread it better....

No idea if this is a good method, but seemed to work...

Regards

I think it improves it a little, although I do not have anything else to compare it to...Sorry if I am not a lot of help, still a newbie....

The TI paste is aluminum oxide, and I don't care for it. I think the chromium oxide leaves a similarly sharp edge but is smoother

I was going to follow with cronium oxide do you think ti paste would sharpen a little more than the chr.5

Personally, I think the chromium oxide leaves a similarly sharp edge. but your paste mileage may vary

Would cronium ox refresh an edge, as well as ti paste when ineed of just touching up razor? After honing i use ch.5 on livi loom and have to say it is exallant stuff i've used .5 dp then ch.5 that also works realy well for me. I'm trying to replace the .5 dp with somthing similar as i have order from usa and i'm in uk and i can get ti paste so easy but by the opinions so far its not so good. I'm not keen on dovo paste tryed the red and it did'nt do any thing hardly.
