ok guys i have a chance to get water based abrasives thought a norton distributor down the street. they are the same exaxt abrasives as the amplex from classicshaving.com, what micron should i go with for stropping? 1 micron and 1/2 micron?
if you can find a fastenal in your area they have good prices on this stuff. amplex and norton are divisions of st gobain abrasives, i asked the guy and he said there would be no difference in their diamond compounds. and amplex also sells slurries and spray forms of diamond compounds.
i think the 1 micron was about 10 bucks for 5g container and the 1/2 micron was about 17 bucks or something.
so does this sounds right? double sided paddle strop with 1 and 1/2" micron on either side? thanks
