Japanese natural progression from bevel to polish
I've got this hankering to develop a natural J-nat progression, as above.
I'm looking at a Bisui-do (bevel), blue Aoto (sharpening), then kiita-asagi mix (finishing polish), with the slurry progression Jim advises.
I'\'ve got the kiita-asagi already. Will it be too much of a jump from the aoto?
Also, those more experienced than I seem to feel that there are no good bevel-setting J-nats. Has anyone tried the Binsui-do for this purpose?
Don't point out that natural stones are unique and have to be worked with; I understand and accept this. But does the general strategy seem sound?
Why am I at this point? I got bored with DEs after a few months, moved on to straights; got bored with artifical hones after a few months, moved to coticules, sort of figured those out; and now I'm looking for a new challenge.:banghead:
Any advice (other than spending my time in more fruitful and socially valuable pursuits) gratefully accepted.
