I hone about 10-14 razors a week, but may be a little biased. I started out on the coticule and learned that inside and out. Later on I experimented with other finishers (CF, Escher, JNat, Thurry) and found most of them gave a slight improvement over the coticule in terms of sharpness, but also a slight dropoff in smoothness.

I later messed around with synthetics for my honing progression, but found them no faster than a coticule dilucot as I already had that nailed and am fairly consistent with it. A chosera 1K still does all my bevel work and I absolutely love it.

These days though I usually just finish on the coticule as I find those edges quite suitable for my face. A dilucot after setting the bevel takes me 10-15 minutes to finish and I get really good edges from this. Sometimes I break out the escher/vintage thuri to give my final polish, but don't find it really necessary at all.
