Thanked: 481I've also stopped using CrOx after honing a razor. Partly because I want to feel what the hones are doing to the edge, but mostly because it's just not a necessity. And after discovering the wonder that is a barber hone, I've more or less retired the CrOx all together. It's faster (and less awkward) to touch up a blade by tossing a little lather on a Swaty and doing 4-6 strokes than it is to try and flip open my strop to get at the CrOx pasted linen for 10 laps.
Very interesting to see what the linen and leather are doing at that high magnification. Looks different than what I saw through a 60x loupe, but I'm still adjusting my technique and haven't looked in a while. Might warrant a little closer inspection when I feel up to playing with it.
