Hey guys,

I'm currently living in India and will be traveling to Tokyo in a few weeks. I'm a DE shaver and just getting started with straights. I've ordered a few stones to sharpen my 'shave ready' razor (thanks for nothing vintagestraightrazor.com ) but neglected to order chromium oxide to finish the edge.

Rather than placing another international order, I'm hoping to pick something up while in Japan. Is .5 chromium oxide paste available in Tokyo? They seem to be known for their finishing stones, so I could understand if they didn't have it. In that case, should I forego the Chr Ox and purchase a finishing stone? I have zero experience honing, so this is all new to me.

Thanks for the info.

Brandon
