Thank you!

Hello chtinavion! (tu parles francais?)

Thanks for your question...

Actually and to be honest, I still don't have this information about their grit....

Nevertheless, as I am going to buy tomorrow some pastes for other "shaving pals", I will ask the seller about it...

Anyway, I would venture the green to be around 0,8 & 0,5 micron and the red less... maybe 0,5 and 0,2..

What was important for me, was not much the specs but the results........

All I know is that before, seen that I was only using the green one until my blade could pass the HHT...
my shaves were "normal".... but my moustache was not "clean" (even pulling a little while shaving), meaning overall I got a nice shave but my moustache was not totally shaved.. I could feel it with my fingers ATG...

Since I use the red one, my shaves are..... HEAVEN!

As a matter of fact, I shaved myself yesterday... I got a 3 days beard as I didn't shave during the week-end...

I made my usual skin preparation... put on my shaving cream... meanwhile, I stropped my blade on the red one for 10 passes and an additional 5 in the palm of my hand... That's all....

Guess what? It was like cutting butter.... I made 2 passes (WTG & ATG)... Some finishing here and there.. 15 min. later I was done with a BBS... (Of course, my moustache was clean & BBS as well..)

Today, my beard has grown, but it is still acceptable..

For some reasons, I am looking forward to shaving tomorrow morning!

I will revert to you with the a.m. missing information ASAP...

Take care!
