My progression is fairly simple:
DMT 1200
Norton 4000
Norton 8000
Coticule w/water
Y/G Escher
I have a DMT 325 and 600 if I really needed anything coarser than the 1200, but haven't found the need yet.
I don't always finished on the escher as finishing with the coticule leaves a different feel that I like sometimes. I know doubling the grits is the best method and I've considered getting a hone around 2000 grit. But seeing as I don't hone all that often I don't really find it all that necessary as going from 1200 to 4000 isn't that big of a jump anyways.
Soon my progression will end with a Nakayama Maruichi.Last edited by StraightRazorDave; 06-20-2009 at 01:11 AM.
