happy birthday to me, or what to do with a coticule
i am pretty positive the wife got me a nice yellow coticule for my birthday tomorrow. I am not completely sure hwo it should fit into my honing regiment and have a few questions.
1) when to move from the 8k norton to the coticule? should i keep on the norton till it passes the HHT or can i move to the coticule a bit before that
2) do i need to work up a slurry on the coticule before i start honing with it?
3) any tests (besides shaving) to know when to be done with the coticule?
4) can I or should i use a pasted strop after the coticule? if so should it be 1.0, 0.5 or 0.25 micron? with that question what micron size would be actually courser than the coticule?
