This is kind of an "out loud" responce to my own questions about the hones I have. I have 3 "finishing" hones, and this is me testing them out. I have tested the coti and I'm pretty happy with it. Now I'm working out the bugs to get the S GS 16k to work for me. Next will be the Oohira hone.

If the Cro2 makes this work and I get great shaves off it, than it will not be a lost cause Not what I would want to do every time but the knowelege will be worth it.
Go back to the 16K and give it a 10 more passes instead, as a few others here I've found I had to use a lot more passes on the 16K than 5-10, and try stropping it with 50/50 on linen/leather after the honing session and another stropping session before you shave with it. If you get tired of going back to the 16K the go to the Cro2 as it will smooth things out for you.
