hi

i was looking in the thiers issard .co.uk site and i have read a pdf. about stropping with diamont paste.

then i take a look at SRD and see that they also have diamond paste but one is .5 just like the chrom.oxide is...

do u think it would be a good ideea to get the 1.0, 0.25, and 0.5 diamond pastes along with my first str8 blade to maintain a nice and sharp edge for a very long time this way?

is the 0.5 diamond paste the same as the chrom.oxide and should go for only one of them?

is this a good alternative to not honing for a long time?



also i saw a thiers issard 4 sided strop on that website.do u have any experience with it? is it any good or better that the average leather hanging strop?

don't dorget any questions ))

thanks

regards.
