I have a pasted paddle from Tony with 3 mi diamond, 1mi diamond, .5 mi diamond, and then the .5mi Chromium. This plus my 4k/8k norton are what I have been using to sharpen for a couple months now, though my yellow coticule bout should be in from Howard today. I love the chromium, but the diamonds are my workhorse polishers after I leave the norton. I can get the razor shave sharp off the norton, but not comfortable. The daimonds bring it up to that scarry sharp stage where it takes no effort to shave hair, but the Chromium makes it a super comfortable shaver. This is just my own experience. I imagine that I will be much like Ed after my bout arrives.
