Wow, that sounds like a lot of complicated honing to me. For my preference, I use a couple corse stones if the bevel needs setting. Otherwise, I have five Coticules and two blue Belgium stones. Usually when a razor needs to visit the hone I simply choose one of the yellows, whip up a little slurry and in a few minutes to sometimes half an hour it is popping hair straight off the stone. Once in a while I'll pull out one of the Belgium blues and work up an edge but that is because I want to play. If the yellow needs more abrasion, whip up a bit more slurry and less abrasion comes from dilution with a finish on plain water. Then it is off to a clean piece of linen and a clean piece of leather to make it ready for the shave.
It sounds like you are a craftsman or artisan of some sort. Using a Coticule shouldn't pose much of a problem for you to learn. I did and I'm a knuckle dragger. I like to keep things simple and fun. Otherwise, what's the point?
