Be great for touching up the "edges" on those oddly worn vintage razors we often snicker at in another thread. Naah, on second thought, just send 'em back to the Island of Misfit Razors.

Whites Boots.....Diamond paste, Baby!

There's a song in there?

True, Mark. Some razors never fit the exact regimen. Pastes is as pastes does!

I still have a pretty good size chunk of .5 CrOx crayon that I picked up from a vendor who was supplied it from Mastro Livi and then I have a small bottle of water bases .25 diamond from Martin at Rasurpur and I’m not sure who his source is but they both do have there place, I don’t use them much anymore but sometimes when I am trying to squeak out that last bit of keenness I will do 20 laps on the .5 and 6-8 on the .25 and then a regular stropping

Livi poured the coals to the CroOx. Interesting.

I have a paddle strop with hard felt on one side and balsa on the other. The hard felt has .25 diamond spray and the balsa has CrOx. THe vendor I got it from suggested using the diamond spray first followed by the CrOx. That seems to give me a keen, but comfortable edge more than the other way around.
