0.5 Diamond AND 0.5 ChromOx?
Ok, paste question:
4-sided paddle strop.
Two sides are 3-micron, and 1-micron diamond pastes.
I've decided to not use 0.25 diamond paste, at least not on my ever first paddle strop.
Is it necessary to use 0.5 micron diamond paste on one side AND then use 0.5 chromium oxide paste on another side?
Or is the 0.5 micron chromium oxide good enough to replace the 0.5 diamond paste? (this would leave one side free to use as a daily, or finishing side)
Sorry if that was a dumb question, I read somewhere that someone used both, and I couldn't for the life of me see why. In what order would you use them, anyway?
