I use Frog Lube paste...it's worked great for me and will probably last for at least another decade, but I'd never heard of Corrosion X, it definitely seems interesting, thanks!

Re: Sal, Zoomer help please

Trailing strokes on a mouse pad, like stropping but on progressively fine auto body sandpaper...it helps to have clearance by placing it on the edge of a counter or raised butcher's block. You can get really beautiful convex edges with a little bit of patience and a steady hand.
