Here they only sell tubes of 5ml for the price of $ 8.16, find it quite pricey.
What's better, the Diamond Spray or Chromium Oxide. Want to use this to some of my razors give a touchup.

Some will use both. First .25 diamond on a wool strop, and then .50 CrOx on leather. It sounds counter intuitive, but the smaller grit diamond leaves a rougher feel than the CrOx so you use the smaller grit first....

True some do use both. Diamond paste on balsa or leather leaves a rough finish and needs to be smoothed up which CrOx does. The Diamond spray on felt for some reason doesn't leave a rough finish.
Every razor is different and some like the diamond spray and some like the CrOx. Just depends on the steel used, temper process, blade size and shape etc. so if you have both your ready to tackle any razor pretty much.

Ok am convinced. I buy both. . But do you now say that I first diamond spray to use and then Crox?

If you decide to use both at the same time yes you would. I find that my use of both on the same razor is a pretty rare thing. The CrOx is my go to media but at times nothing works like diamond spray and SRD felt.
Just experiment and enjoy that's how most of us learn what works best for us.
One last thing use the spray conservatively on the felt. There are instructions that come with it and you can call Don at SRD most anytime if you have any questions on using them.

Hmm ...... $ 28 shipping (SRD) to the Netherlands. and Vintage Blades Submission only in America.
Is there anyone in Europe who sell this stuff?

I'm sure there is most likely in the UK. A Google search for UK+shaving+accessories should give plenty of results then just check the websites that come up.
I'll take a look also-----

You may be able to purchase CrOx directly from Mastro Livi in Italy.
