polishing compound suppliers in Australia

[aussie]

I am seeking a vendor down under for polishing compound - the kind which is used on strops. I am looking for all three grades.

Thanks in advance.

From memory, there is one or more listed in Annex II of the Traditional SR Shaving Instructions.

I got mine from Tech Diamond Tools in the US. Shipping was not cheap but 5g of each should last you 10 to 20 years.

I bought 0.5 and 0.25 from a lapidary supplier in Ballina...got my lapping film there too.

www.knifesupplies.com.au has 0.1 in cubic boron nitride but not diamond...supposed to be just as good.

Where in Kimgston?

The knife supplies website I linked above is in Kingston Tasmania... where I used to live once upon a time... if the is a knife supplies place in Kingston in Logan, I REALLY want to know where it is, because that's not an awful long way from where I live now, and I go kinda past it fairly often...

I purchased off their web site. I presumed that they were in Brisbane. Maybe I am wrong. Let's take a look.

Yes it appears that I stand corrected!!

Bummer...was hoping there was an awesome place I hadn't heard of yet!

They've got some cool stuff on their site...

I go down there a couple of times a year, might have to try and visit them next time...
