Thread: Chromium Oxide on Balsa wood...

Hi, guys!

I get from ClassicShaving Chromium Oxide Compound green. I have a balsa wood also, but, problem is, I don't know how much quantitative I must put CroX on balsa wood to cover the surface? I don't want to dull blade.

Thank you for answers!

Hi Igor,

You only need a very small amount of the CrOx on the balsa for it to be effective. If you put on too much it can get a bit crusty, as well as dulling the blade pretty easily as you say.

Have a look at this Wiki article on pasting a strop as it takes you through the process and shows you how much paste to apply.

As I say, you really dont need much at all, just a very thin coating, for it to be effective.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Thank you for quick replay, Stu. I saw Wiki article, and it's really SMALL amount of the CroX on... Thnx again! I appreciate it.
