Thread: What grind have a chromium oxide paste??

Chromium Oxide crystals are fairly round in structure and so don't gouge as deeply as diamond crystals. But, for this reason, they cut more slowly. Possibly, you didn't use the chromium oxide long enough. And, possibly, you won't be able to detect a difference.

And, by the way, I don't know whether you are speaking about a shaving difference, or an observable physical difference.

I have finished razors with 0.25 micron diamond spray, and shaved only to feel like the razor was scratching. When I take, say, 20 or 30 passes on Chromium Oxide, this sensation seems to disappear.

The scratchy or harsh feeling I mentioned above with 0.25 micron diamond doesn't always occur, and doesn't always occur with every razor. So, this might be technique problem on my part. (It is fairly common to hear statements like this, often using the word "harsh" instead of scratchy.)

Ok and that`s my feelings about chromium oxide. On my first try mayby i touch too much or too less becusee a endge sems to be not enoght sharp. And that for that reasson becuse after shave i still have some hair on my nec. Second try give me a better results, mayby it`s not fantastic (i still don`t have any reference point) but much better.

Between too much and too little, you prolly put too much, its pretty common. The tutorial on the top of the strop forum shows a strop with a good amount, you can barely tell the strop is pasted. You don't wan't the strop to look like the top of a pool table.
