The CrO is very special; capable of superb refinement of the edge.
My routine is 40 laps on CrO/balsa followed by 100 plus laps to touch up my blades.
Here is a how-to video.
Enjoy,

What I meant to say was 40 laps on CrO/balsa followed by 100 plus laps on leather.
It is the leather that really provides that extra, shave ready refinement.

Thank you Gammaray for linking this fine video, of this nice young man demonstrating the X-Stroke on his 3" balsa hone.
