Seems an apt metaphor, for polishing compound, in a slightly ironic kind of way.

I missed that.

You're wrong, these are made of synthetic diamond powders

Yes, my point exactly. Cubic zirconia (synthetic diamond) will polish steel quite well. :thumbup:

Brothers, to communicate with you, I use Google translator, and sometimes bad you know.

Just cutting a few corner is all they're doing.

This meant that "slang term" cutting corners = taking short cut or using an easier method.

I meant that if you can use a synthetic powdered diamond instead of crushed bits of authentic diamond, you might save money on the compund. I don't know this for sure but I woul guess that it is so.

neither poly or mono crystaline compounds use natural diamonds crushed to size. it's synthetic man made diamonds.

Synthetic diamond and cubic zirconia are not the same

I would like that

Can I have some 6 micron (or 3 or 1) for reference to my dmt diapastes (6,3 and 1 micron) and 0.5 and/or an 0.25 to test on my straight razors.
Can you also specify where I can get it? Do you sell it? And how much does it cost?

Send me your address and send you samples of all the pastes that I have. My brother, the money for it I do not need, I'll be glad to help you.

That's sweet! Thanks a lot, a very nice gesture.
I'll post the results of stropping with your compounds here on the forums.

cheers
