Thread: Very Fine Pastes, Diamond + others

I'm new to this stuff so I have a couple questions. Are all the prices here low, or is it specifically the diamond compound 5mL syringes that are selling for $8.55? Also, do these pastes expire or is this something that I could buy now with the intention of not using for a year or so? Thanks.

I'm not sure it really matters for our purposes. These are common industrial abrasives.

i got the 1um and 1/2 um from tedpella. arrived this weekend. put them on a brand new tony miller bench hone. so im letting them dry and set at the moment. will report back after usage.

ill post some pics of the actual paste / siringes when i get home for you all the take a look at.

Just thought I'd revive this post.

I just ordered some 0.25 to refresh my strop (already have 1 and 0.5) - the 2prices for 0.25. 0.5 and 1 micron is still $8.55.

Even though the prices for international orders are higher, they will give you the lowest of the two prices.

I wouldn't be surprised if the were made by Amplex as the sizing and colour are the same.

If you're in Canada, ask them to ship USPS - cost me $3.50 to ship a syringe of abrasive and a tube of fine metal polish.

At these prices, these are a steal and anyone who wants to have some of this stuff on hand should load up - less than 1/2 the price that classicshaving charges.
