I belive that would be roughly the equivalant of a 300 grit hone. Not sure you'll be able to accomplish anything useful with it on a razor.

On the other hand, if you've got some trash blade lying around, give it a go and see what happens. Worst case scenario, they're still trash blades when you're done.
Oh, no doubt 50 microns is "coarse". Knowing full well what grit equivalent that would roughly translate to I ordered a packet out of curiosity and to have on hand in case I feel like dreaming up some sort of experiment. Setting a bevel with chrome ox. At the level we use it at, it does seem like an oxymoron. I don't know that 50 microns would stay 50 microns in actual use or if it would reduce rapidly in crystal size to something somewhat smaller.
