I do recall mparker posting that a nagura is not a slurry stone and that it wouldn't be a good idea to use it as one. With stones that I don't have a slurry stone for I use a DMT 3" 325 credit card sized continuous plate. Works well for me.

That's a good idea, those small DMT's. Larger Garnet's in the blue make sense, if you think about it. I mean, it works, I got great edges by doing that. The thing is, I seldomly stop at a coticule, I'll go on to a Shapton, or Nakayama, sometimes, I'll stop at the Naniwa, also a great finisher....
