This is the sort of post that costs me money.

Its like watching sports on TV. Every play makes somebody happy.

But SO worth it!

I use coticules more now (after going to Lapping film to get past the initial learning curve).

Late to the party. I have a yellow/green escher, and a blue/green. I also have some coticules that I sometimes prefer if I'm in the mood for the feel of that edge. Here is the y/g. A cellphone iic but better than nothing.

OOOh, the mythical 'barbers delight' Jimmy?

On a regular basis Shapton 16k, and sometimes I use my 10k Nani or my Shobudani asagi. It just takes too much time for me to learn new stones to use as good as my old ones, so I tend to not buy new finishers nowadays

I use a Naniwa 12k but I'm working on my Coticule skills

Until recently the Thuri was my choice of finisher, but after buying a Naniwa SS 12K in December I'm really digging the edges I'm getting off it.
So the majority of the time I'm using the Nani now.

Wow-Looks like the Nani 12k is in the lead by a long shot, though the Zulu Grey seems to be an up and comer. So far, just a C12k/PHIG for me, as that's all I've got (although CJBianco has it right now, but then he also has the Nani 12k, so maybe we can arrange another "play-date" for our stones-Christopher, you still out there?).

Anyway, my theory is to learn the one thoroughly before branching out. "Beware the man who only has one gun..."

Said gun:

I always hone on my GS's to 16k and then go to a natural finisher. Typically its a Escher, but I have been finishing on Zulu lately as its new to me. Leaves a nice n crisp edge with water only.
