I guess I have been doing it wrong all these years because I have never found an issue from using a Diamond Plate to Campher the edges nor to raise a light slurry to finish with. (A Well Worn aka Broken In with no high diamonds)
I have read multiple times about trying to use running water, oil, or a honing solution to finish on a Coti and I always wonder WHY??
Why are you trying to take away what makes the Coti finish so nice, it is that lovely creamy Coti slurry that makes the finish stand out
Much the same on a Escher, or as generally accepted on most Japanese finishers. I just don't understand why there is a push to decease the very thing that makes these hones deliver that SMOOTH face feel.. But hey your razors your rocks your face = Your Choice, but for me I have found the "Magic in the Mud"
