    While I have not honed many razors, I will say this progression seems to be working for me. Yesterday I used a 6/8 ish, wedgie blade and got an amazing shave shave after one pass with and one pass against the grain and some cleaning up here and there. I have also noticed that I am left with no irritation, even in the areas where I did the cleaning up.

    Sharp and smooth, and I can't wait to hone more.
    Ditto on the progression.
    The coticule certainly gives a smooth close shave but I do like my Chinese 12k to finish off.
    I'm just an icing on the cake type of guy.

    Maybe buy an Escher one day

    There is almost no better stone than a Belgian Coticule. All you need is good strop and a nice coticule. You will be set for life.
