Hello all!

I've just purchased a Chosera 1k as a bevel setter to go along with my coticule. I am very new to honing and I have a couple of questions regarding this set up.

1. Does the Chosera need to be lapped upon receipt? If so, what is a good lapping option?

2. After setting the bevel on the 1k stone, can I go straight to the coticule with water only or is the dilucot method needed?

3. If I do need a slurry, what consistency am I looking for right when coming off the 1k to the coticule?

4. Should i be diluting the slurry my periodically adding water or will the razor breakdown the slurry on its own? Combination of both?

Thanks very much for the help! I definitely need it!
