    Jon,

    Start with a lighter slurry, like cloudy water, try 20-25 x strokes per several drops of water, keep your dilution till water is clear, rinse coticule and razor really well, then try 100 x strokes on clear water; adding more water as needed. Finally, strop really well. Keep trying...

    I just got a new coticule and should be here in a day or two. I hope this thread goes on a bit as I'm sure I will have some battles with this stone.

    Once the bevel is set refrain from pressure, all this does is deepen the scratches and break the edge. Invest in a radioshack microscope so you can see the edge as you progress, this will show you what is going on with the edge and is more valuable than any advice over the net.
