    Randy,
    They are all Amplex diamond compounds, water based, standard concentration. Classic Shaving has them all. I also got a syringe of 3 micron at an industrial supply house bt have not used it yet.

    I have other pastes on other strops but have not gotten into experimenting with them yet, ie....the green chromium oxide, Dovo red and black cake pastes and the Dovo types in the tube, red and green.

    I also have the Thiers-Issard paste in the tube like a glue stick.

    Sounds good, I was afraid of that. After some practice I'm sure you'll be ready to hit that bad boy. It'll save you some grief anyway. I learned to hone on a nice razor but you whittle down a lot of the spine just learning.
