Thread: Nagura Honing - Video tutorial

"90% of the work is at bevel set so then everything is mostly a synthetic edge unless you use a coticule or similar for everything."

Not to me. I don't need to bevel set on a coitcule to have a coticule edge end up on a razor.
Not sure anyone would believe that really.
To get a particular stones edge to a razor you will need to completly override what is there before calling it that edge. A few strokes will not do it unless its a ridiculously fast stone. We are not really talking about the same thing.
If you are using a different stone to finish and want the effect from it then"just a few strokes" does not really change it much.
How you get to the start of your finisher does make a difference - at least to me.
One stone honing does not yield the same results as a progression of different ones.
So yes, how you get there will change the outcome but going from a tomo slurry then diluting out to water will certainly imprint that stones edge much better than just a few strokes from another.
