Thanked: 2Thank you all for your input.
I will try a little longer with the slurry stone, for a few minutes. If not successful I will get a super fine (1200) diamond stone as suggested.
My daily shaver is sharp but other razors I have need major sharpening, thus creating slurry is a must. Regarding the use of softer stones, I have done that, but since I spent the pennies on a very special piece of coticule, I do want to try out its properties with slurry as well

I tried light rubbing for about 2-3 minutes, until I started to see a hazy slurry, very little water and more rubbing got my some slurry. I don't recon you can set bevels with it. For that you would need a soft stone, but is good for the latter part. The edge is amazing.

I use a Translucent Arky pocket hone as a rubber on most all my finishers, It is flat and much harder and does not drop any grit.
I am glad your got a great Coticule!
