Thread: 1k - BBW - Coticule Does anyone else even use this any longer???

I have a question that just came to mind as I am soaking the 1k before I hone a few Sheffield razors..

My goto stone for English steel is a Select Grade Coticule, but I realized that it has been quite some time since I have read about this progression, about 5 years ago it was pretty much the standard way to procede with these...

Does anyone still use these stones in this fashion, I know I didn't for the longest time because I haven't had a BBW since 2009 but I bought a new one and have gone back to using it again... I have been doing the 1-4-8 or 1-3-8 then a Coticule since 2009 but switched back about 2 months ago ..

Anyway it was just a thought that occured to me so I thought I would ask
