Thread: Green Rouge

I have some green rouge: Koyo-sha Co. LTD, Tokyo Japan K-2
Does anyone have experiece with this product; is this a good choice for razors? I thought I could strop with it on denim. From what I have searched it is used for a polishing compound, but not sure of the grit. Also wondering how metal polish would compare to this. I have some lapping film, 1 micron that I using after the 8K Norton.

Cant help ya Joe, but someone will join in soon and give ya an opinion.

It is for use on a motor with a polishing mop .

Good for polishing, but not for stroppin.

I've been reading through old honing threads trying to get a better grasp of honing in its entirety.
From what I've found regarding using "other" products than what we typically read about here is that most have been tried, some products have particles that are too large or small..
Also I read that after using a finishing stone, if you go further then the blade becomes too sharp and grabs skin too.
I may have it mixed up, perhaps someone will say there's no "too sharp" or maybe there's more to it...?

Recently I was polishing some blades and thought I had a brilliant idea of using metal polish like Flitz on a cloth or paper to sharpen blade "extra" sharp...

I'm still not sure why it wouldn't work, as long as the residue is cleaned off.
Would it be too sharp? Create a weak edge?

I imagine a perfectly smooth shiny bevel... I think I'm missing something. Definitely I have much to learn.

EDIT: Could I use Flitz on my finishing stone?

Yes, there is a point of too sharp. And I'd say no, to flitz on a finisher.
