if you do not mind shopping in US
try this source
I think I saw some in the classifieds... Also, a few online shops have it. SRD comes to mind...
Try the classifieds, ChrisL is providing small amounts to those that need it.
No need to buy a lifetime supply.
+1 to ChrisL its very affordable and comes very quickly, good stuff :)
Nessmuck,
I recently bought some from this place.

It is .3 micron. and arrived in 2 days. 1.5 oz looks like a life time supply.
They also show you the best way to apply it to fabric, felt or balsa hones.
Put it on lighter than you think it should be.
I bought a pound of it and as much as I have to strop, hone, polish, it's still likely to be a lifetime supply.
In the Classifieds go to "Strops and Hones" and scroll down to Chromium Oxide. Chris sells it in small packets. I think we put a bunch of on some paddles we had for door prizes at one of the Minnesota Razor Ups. A fine, fine green as I remember. Wear gloves when you play with it as at half a micron the stuff will get into anything and hang in there with remarkable tenacity. :)

I have pasted quite a few strops with the little packet from chris and still have some left. A little goes a long way.
