    That just does not make sense.

    Pastes, whether diamond or CroOx, will lightly touch up an edge. For an edge that is only slightly beginning to show reduced shave quality, one of those pastes may be sufficient.

    A barber hone is capable of much more aggressive steel removal. It does not have to remove much, but it will be more aggressive that most pastes. A light touch with just a few strokes is all you need to bring your edge back.
