Maybe a small extra-fine DMT and a small narrow coti, followed by a small narrow piece of leather stretched across a hollowed board would do the trick.
Really you can hone from scratch on a good Coticule. I often set the bevel and take all the progression on the single hone.

I find that it leaves a smoother shave, then any other combination. [emoji4] it just takes a little more time...
