    I don't know about the particle size of the other fillers other than the iron oxide. But, I am very satisfied with the 110 product iron oxide from Kremer. The same goes for the 0.3 micron Chromium Oxide from Kremer.

    I contacted a representative from Kremer with the same question about the 0.3 micron CrO. It took them a week to contact the technical staff in Germany and get an answer. Basically, they said that the QA on the product was extremely stringent. And, that they couldn't guarantee that bigger particles didn't exist. But, if so, they would be a very very small percentage.

    I would suspect the same applies to other Kremer products. Anyone I have heard talk about Kremer, and most seem to be European, speak very highly of their products.

    Kremer is a serious/good company in terms of pigment supply for artists. When I lived in NYC my brother would have me go to their 29th street store to buy him pigments he needed. They were pretty serious- many toxic pigment jars lining the walls. Customers were not allowed to touch anything. Once, a couple was browsing the pigments and kept reaching for them. The store clerk got angry and kept warning them not to touch anything but the people didn't listen. Eventually they got kicked out of the store in a pretty violent manner. It was great. Wish I had thought about all this when I lived down there.

    I've used Kremer pigments for my soaps from the get go.
    They always delivered a consistent quality, correct stuff and in a very friendly manner.
    It is the very same stuff that you get when you order cosmetic or pharmacy ingredients and the analysis has shown the very best results. (Had to get those done because of regulations)
    For what they market it (Artist supply) its above standard.

    I canīt add much to what Olivia said, only that I have used the Pr 110 for several months now, on many many razors.
    It delivered very smooth results, nothing like harsh or agressive,
    itīs very smooth polishing without leaving any scratches (from irregularities or such) at all. Remember not to apply much to the leather and to be extremely careful, and avoid breathing in the particles

    I'm sorry for reviving such an old thread but while looking for CrOx in Bulgaria I found a distributor of Kremer. I've read all posts here and they are all positive. The only thing that worries me is that CrOx is usually 0.5 micron while the Kremer one is 0.3 micron. I'm going to be using it for refreshing my straight but later on when I get my lapping film also for honing after the 1 micron lapping film. Is it suitable for this or should I get a 0.5 micron one? Thanks!

    See my reply above about Kremer 0.3 micron chromium oxide powder. I have personally used the 0.3 micron chromium oxide from Kremer for about four years.

    I have personally used their 0.1 micron (actually, 0.09) micron iron oxide for the same length of time - 4 years. I use 0.3 micron on balsa, wipe the blade, then strop on 0.1 micron iron oxide on the other side of the piece of balsa, wipe blade and strop on leather.

    That's exactly what I'm looking for. I want to make my balsa strop with CrOx on one side and something else on the other one. Is this the one - Iron Oxide Brown 655 ? I assume you're happy with the results since you've been using it for 4 years.
