Well, finally got around to finishing my first full restore, successfully - if i do say so myself. :rock:
It was a bit rough at the first try, but i just went a few more rounds on the blue coti and it was all good!Oddly, and this I did not expect, a few rounds on the blue side of the coti and it was smooth enough to shave. I did end up doing a few turns in the yellow side and the thuri to finish off ofc, but still... Nice smooth shave, no nicks or roughness so yay! Still, not as good as that time outback restored a norris for me, that one was godly smooth.

oh you know, forgot to add: meant to ask, how do I know it's time to move to next stone without the use of a loupe?
