Tony,

I have one of your 2 sided paddles with green .5 micron chromium on one side. I got it for a travel strop but because my beard is a razor killer I find myself going to it more and more because I seem to get better results than from the pasted balsa I was using before.

I'm a firm believer in less is more when it comes to using paste and find the green stuff gives me an edge that will squeegie off the whiskers and about 10 laps a week keeps it going that way for months before I have to get more aggressive.
