My shave time is coming down, so I reckon, when I can do nice long passes instead of little baby strokes I will get there.
I think that, my thinking regarding the coarser stone is that if I already have a 10k, I shouldn't need anything finer. I know there are much finer stones available but I dont believe they are necessary. I touched up your frameback on the 10k, I am happy with the result, and I am not even really proficient at honing yet.
Whereas if I need to do a bit more than a touchup I will need something coarser. I do have the Welsh slates, one of which is coarser, so I could use that, its just a lot smaller than the naniwa so possibly a bit harder to use.
