I have used paste from tech diamond tools before. Seems to be high quality stuff, in grit sizes it would be 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000.
This is what I have. It works pretty well.I have used paste from tech diamond tools before. Seems to be high quality stuff, in grit sizes it would be 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000.
I get the the same stuff as Frank and it works great with fast delivery and great service.I recently bought 0.5, 0.25 and 0.1 micron from Diamond polishing Paste – Tech Diamond Tools - https://techdiamondtools.com/product-category/diamond-polishing-paste/, and am very happy. What's nice about Tech Diamond Tools is they sell in three concentrations (10%, 25% and 50%) in two sizes (5 and 10 gm). I went with the 25% concentration in 5 gm - will be enough to last for years.

I have found that it's the 0.1um that is hardest to source, followed by 0.25um. 0.5um and above is relatively easy to find.Chefknivestogo has syringes of diamond paste .25 to 3 microns for a good price. Fast delivery when I ordered too.
I did have to go to Tech Diamonds for the .01 paste (after I had ordered the other grits elsewhere).I have found that it's the 0.1um that is hardest to source, followed by 0.25um. 0.5um and above is relatively easy to find.

Sorry, I knew that (from your posts) but wrote it wrong..01 is not used for razors. I tried .025 and it was pretty strange stuff. .1 is the usual stopping point.
I buy my diamond spray for strops from DMT. The sprayer part gets clogged easily so I just take off the top and use my finger to apply it to the strop. Their diamond spray is monocrystalline diamonds and they really cut fast and stay sharp.Does anyone have a trusted source for Diamond Paste for the pasted Balsa Strops? Preferably eBAY.

This is the only supply of .1u I could find in the UK. Works fine. Think the reason I couldn't find it initially was because it is advertised as 1/10 micron, Google doesn't know it's the same as .1u

I did check on Amazon USA, they do ship to the UK. I will do so when my current paste runs out thanks.You should ask Tech Diamond Tools - https://techdiamondtools.com/ if they will ship to you in the UK. Can't hurt to ask.
