    Default Finishing with coticule???

    I have a new coticule, I can get it to HHT 3ish. I can’t seem to get better edge. Please help.
    I am experienced with jnat, ark, film.
    Razors bevels are well set with king 1k or vintage washita
    With slurry razor gets sharp quickly.
    I’m told stone is fast and swarf is observable within 5-6 laps.
    I’ve tried diluted slurry.worked slurry, water, running water, differnt volumes of slurry.......
    I’ve tried all different ranges of pressure.
    Low lap count and high lap count....
    Best I can get is just barely HHT 3.
    I would estimate my best edge with this coti 10-12K edge.
    I am following coti work with plain canvas, and plain leather strop
    Shaves are passable and very comfortable,
    edges are not as sharp or shave as close jnat, ark, film edges
    Sorry to churn up a previously covered subject.
    I have tried honing 2 modern dovos, and 2 gencos so far similar results.

    Advice please?
