Well, i mean, it's not so difficult to figure out. It's a naturally occuring stone...vs something man made.
Nature vs Man. Man loses.
Nature has the edge....so to speak.

Thomas Wolfe wrote a book, 'Only The Dead Know Coticules' ..... or maybe it was a short story .... might have been only the dead know Brooklyn ..... I'm sure you could google it ......

Neil, if you're paying for my flights, I'll come for a dip with you!
I'm still fairly new at this 'game' and have only been playing for about 9 months or so now. Forgive me for my ignorance? I get what you're saying, absolutely, I just can't see ONE swipe on a coticule, after finishing on a XX000 grit stone, completely changing it to a coticule edge. Is there no half way mark here to keep some properties from one stone and gain some from the next? Just a thought, tell me if i'm being dumb, seriously.Neil Miller likes this.

If you are dropping from a higher grit to a lower grit, where is the gain?

For example, certain razors seem to come off the ozuku incredibly smooth and sharp, occasionally one comes off crazy sharp but too crisp. I figured a few strokes on a coti after that might smooth it out while retaining most of the sharpness. JUST an idea. Originally Posted by nun2sharp

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but the actual sharpness comes from the bevel set...anything after that is just polishing and edge refinement.
Dropping grits is just that...going back down the scale.nun2sharp likes this.

I see where you are coming from, and I wish that something that seems so reasonable could be true. It is such an indeterminate thing, that adding a bit of slurry to your jnat or introducing a bit of slack while stropping could emulate just what you are after - getting it right every time is the issue, though.
Sometimes things that sound really good can never be. I used to think before I was married that I could have a whale of a time, and a good woman could temper that down a little bit, so things never got out of hand again.
How wrong I was...
About having a whale of a time, that is....

But i'm wondering....synthetic vs natural....how accurate are the grit ratings...and do the the grits even apply, the same, to each type of stone? Seems 'grit' is somewhat of a vague term.
