Thread: Where would Coticule fit in Asano Nagura progression

I just re-read the title, having agreed with most everyone's point of view, that it is sort of 'water & oil', (don't mix) but I haven't had a lot of experience with J-nats. Just one extremely good Nakayama Asagi that I sold fairly soon after I bought it lest I succumb to the J-nat virus, "lakamuny". I hear it is extremely contagious.

Anyway, re-reading the title of the thread, the first thought that popped into my mind was if I had finished a razor on a J-nat, or a synthetic, and it was "too sharp/harsh" a few strokes on a fine coticule would probably set it right. Unlikely to end up harsh off of a J-nat but just thinking out loud here.

Yes totally agree. This is where cotis come into their own. 5-10 strokes on my lv will calm a crispy edge and add in smoothness, not to many strokes to significantly lose any keenness either.
