    Im looking for Chromium Oxide Paste, as I should be gettin a strop soon but also want to order the paste while Im at it. Where would be the best place to get good paste?

    I also need to have my First straight (Barbers Notch Morley and Sons.) honed. Who would you guys recommend?

    One more question, My Boker King cutter cuts my arm hair easily but not sharp enought to shave with, would I be able to bring it back with COx paste? or should it be honed as well?

    here is a good place to get it. its 99.9% pure.

    as far as who should hone it....Glen is really good at that stuff. as far as if the CrOx will bring a better edge....i think its possible. if you look at this page it shows you what CrOx does to the blade.

    but glen will know what your problem is and tell you how to fix it. he goes by "gssixgun"

    to me it sounds like your edge isnt actually that sharp. what was your process for honing it? i think that would help us a lot to understand.

    I suggest you buy the Filly strop. It comes with crox pasted to the back side already. Not much of a better deal than that if thats what you want.

    Otherwise handamerican is great. You can get the Livi crayon from SRD.
