Depends on the razor. I use a vintage Coticule, a newly mined Coticule, Spyderco UF, .1 um lapping film or a Black Translucent Arkansas. There are times I'll also use pastes, .5 diamond, crox or .25 diamond.

Main finishing stone? Not really a "main" one, but I've gotten some very comfy edges coming off my BBW, doing a bunch of laps on water then a bunch with baby oil. Wipe on some TP, strop on my big daddy for 60 laps or so, and done. Works better for me than finishing with my coti, whether with water or oil at this point, but I'm always experimenting, maybe they will switch in the future as I learn the other better. In the end, it's all fun.
