Thread: Chrome oxide powder on balsa

I had good luck using a bit of shave soap and small throwaway brush to make a lather in a throwaway salsa cup from a fast food place.
First, build lather then add the Chrome-ox and mix well. The tallow/ saponifier in the soap will not cause a problem to your razor.
Worked well for me and the balsa strops are still going strong.
YMMV

PS. I did not invent this process, but found it along the way.
