Thread: Naniwa 12K after a Coticule, to improve edges that are good but not great?

Back some years ago there was a debate within the honing forums on whether a razor could be too sharp. The general consensus became that it couldn't be too sharp but it could be too harsh. Some of the honemeisters, at that time, suggested that if you found your edge too harsh upon completing your finishing ..... talking higher girts here over 8k, you could go back to the previous high grit and soften the edge. So, just thinking out loud here, since a fine, finishing coticule is generally known to leave a very comfortable and smooth feeling edge, perhaps that is why some guys would 'go back' in the progression.

Edit; Gary was posting while I was typing .... says the same thing I think ? Proving that great minds think alike.
