Thread: Coticule slurry on an Ark.

Ah man that's awesome, congrats on a good shave and good honing job.

I'm glad I reached out on this thread — I can confirm the coticule slurry really filled in those pores. I actually forgot to clean in last time I honed on it, so I'm not sure if this thing can be cleaned out. Seems really in there.

I can confirm though re-lapping this thing on 80 grit sic really kicked things up a notch.

I just ordered a levant bevel setting stone from Peter, a member here, and look forward to trying a different natural bevel setter. I was pretty happy with the soft ark, but I want a little more.

I also want to try the Pyrenees stone. From the looks of it, the levant seems to be a sandstone, whereas the Pyrenees is a sandstone/slate mix. I think the Pyrenees with matching slurry might be a good option. I've read it's actually faster with slurry than a Naniwa SS 1k. Pretty impressive. I saw some scope shots that looked polished if not a bit scratchier than a Shapton 1K. I'll make a report of it on another thread.

Soft arks were good. You guys doing heavy lifting with this? Chips?

I use an Washita with a fresh surface to take out chips. You really have to be careful because it can get quite aggressive.
