Of course I always finish off on the coti whose edge I prefer more.

Maybe I will try just the bbw edge next time and see how that works out.
There was a thread suggesting exactly that not long ago. I have a number of combo coticules and used to use the bbw with slurry before going to the yellow but pretty much leave it alone now. If you have a lot of patience and/or that is all you have it will get you there eventually. I prefer a stone that leaves a finer edge and gets you there faster. Coffee is good this morning.
