The diamond progression thing was popular about when I began straight razor shaving.
Worked a treat if you did not overdo it, but the romance was short-lived most of the time.
Too much of a good thing seemed inevitable.
Razors developed a steep, rounded bevel which would become sorta dangerous! :eek:
TOTAL bevel job to get them right again.
Diamonds do work. Just too good? For your own good. :)

Honing is pleasant, and infrequent for touch-ups.
I've never used CrOx, or diamonds, so maybe I don't know what I'm missing.
I'm going to be going on travel for about 8 months though. Thinking about what my setup should be... thinking right now of thinning down to two or three choice razors, a good boar brush, linen & leather strop, and a barber's hone... Might stick with a JNat though and a couple of nagura... or an Ark... hmmm...

Rest assured, regardless of what you pack, the time will come when you wish you had brought one more thing.
Good luck!
