Here is a photo tutorial member and razor maker Josh Earl did a few years back .....

They have crayons with the stuff and you just apply it like that. In the end you need a carrier of some kind that allows you to apply it and then the carrier goes bye-bye leaving the CrO behind. People use oil, water, and whatever fits the bill.
I have detailed instructions from a former member "ChrisL" who used to sell the Hand American Crox.
If you pm me, I'll send them to you when I get home. (I'm at work now)
PM Sent! Thanks!!! :)
dzacca,
I have had good success just dusting the felt surface with 0.5 micron CrOx powder; you need to do this in a well ventilated space and it would be wise to wear a dust mask.
Have fun !
Best regards

Hi PhatMan,
the CrOx powder I plan to buy is this one: 100g Chromium Oxide Straight Razor Strop Paste Pigment | eBay, I saw that in other thread other users mentioned this one does the job.
I've been using a felt strop that comes with it already applied. It's been working well for me.
