Thread: diamond paste

other than classic, any place to get 0.25 diamond paste?

and is the TI paste finer than the HA 0.5 chromium paste and if so, how fine is it compared to the diamond paste

Do a google search for lapidary supplies. Also check out the sprays.

Do a search for Amplex Diamond Compounds. Many industrial suppliers carry diamond pastes and there are several brands. Despite the high price Amplex is the mostr affordable I have found. I carried it for a few months but it is a very low markup item and for the limited amount I sold was not worth tying up money on.

The material you want is water based, standard concentration. There are many types but this is what we use for razors.

Fin,
Third one down the page, Congress Tools <g>.

Three grades, roughly $12.90 to $18.75. You want medium or standard grade, not light and water based not oil based.

I am still a dealer for St. Gobain but stopped stocking pastes. The $18.75 is the going rate and that is below suggested retail and not much over wholesale. It does not get any better than that.

I would just order from Classic and get some other goodies while you are there too.

i was reading at classicshaving that perhaps the 0.25 paste gets a razor too sharp. would you say that it is more, less or same sharpness as either a DE blade or feather straight blade?
