I honed a Northfield that I just finished cleaning up a bit. It needed a new bevel and the whole works. I went with two layers of tape and used synthetics for part of the progression, then to a coticule. I used a King 1K, Shapton pro 2K, Norton 4K, and a King 6K. After that I went the rest of the way with this coticule. I found it a while back in a lot of dirty stones, it was almost entirely black with crud. When cleaning and lapping I found it had a stamp! But, in order to get it flat and usable the stamp was lost to lapping. Here I used slurry and slowly diluted to water. It gives a terrific finished edge.

I shaved of the PHIG after the 3/8 and it was a very good comfortable shave. I only did one pass and there are only a couple areas that a 2nd pass would take care of. I have a thread in hones with what i did. I will try a couple other types of razors but this stone seems to be a good choice for someone on a budget.
