i have not tried setting bevel on a breadknifed razor w/ coti. but on a razor i dulled w/ glass, it took < 10 min on the 3 i tried.

i still have a dmt 600 for bastard blades.

coticule is working out pretty well so far. going to hone another 5 blades this way and see how they all shave. if 8 blades honed w/ a coticule bevel work, i may just say screw the naniwa..

Dulling the razor is not a normal part of my routine. I am only doing it to test the bevel setting capabilities of the different stones.

I've tried and no luck. I think i am doomed to a world of loneliness because of this....

Hmm....

So i was home alone and frustrated with the naniwa....

So with a beer in one hand and a slurry stone in the other, i went to town with my coticule.

Never done this before.. surprised...

Dmt -> BBW -> Coticule -> nakayama

arrgh!

i'm about to throw all these stones on the classifieds right now :)

Should have never messed with what worked....

O.K. i think i know what my entire problem was....

Aside from being a novice honer..


I lapped the stone one more time and it was like magic.

This thing load of swarf in a hurry now.
...

bah.. i am really struggling with this stone. I refuse to give up on it though. i have a bad habit of buying new hones then selling them after a brief time.


I am wondering if the bbw just does...

Thanks everyone. The plan wasnt really to combine the dmt and naniwa...

It just worked out that way tonight after some frustration... i just need to figure out this stone i s'pose.

O.k.. I have to be missing something very simple here.

My normal progression is the following.

DMT 600->BBW -> Coticule -> Nakayama ->Paste(Optional)

Well... I decided to pick up a naniwa...
