    I Use 0.5 Chro Ox Paste & Maybe Some 0.2 Red Rhodium Paste on Some Razors..My Preference Kinda thing..I Reckon its a Smoother Cutter & Offers a Smoother Edge on Most Razors..But..Many Use Diamond Pastes..Whatever the Paste You are Gonna Use the Purity & Consistency is the Most Important thing in My Books..There is a Lot of Crap Out there..:D

    I use CrOx and sometimes follow,. I also like the Dovo red/black paste. I found the diamond gave a slightly rougher edge.

    I have a tube of diamond paste. I rarely use the pasted strop.

    Diamond paste can be difficult to understand. A .25 diamond spray/paste will cut faster that .5 CrOx but it will leave a quite harsh edge. Diamond is great if you do not have a finisher. I would use .25 diamond spray followed by .5 CrOx then linen and leather.

    Like was mentioned before, not all diamond spray/paste is created equal. There is a lot of crap out there. As for what is best? I don't know as I no longer use it.

    I've never used diamond pastes or sprays, and don't plan on buying any.

    I have a number of ChromOx & diamond pastes but rarely use them.
