One question though, (I hope nobody minds the thread hijack) how does such a Chinese natural ultrahone behave after a coticule. I ask, because it's not more smoothness I'm after, but more keeness. In a manner of speaking, I rate most coticules an "A" for sharpness and a "AA" for smoothness, and I like to reach the "AA" level for sharpness too. So far, I rely on CrO for that, convexing the very tip of the edge a bit with a few laps of CrO on a strop. It works great, but I would like a solution that maintains bevel geometry. Since I like natural hones, a Nakayama could be the way to go. Are they compatible with my coticule fondness?
