Anyway I'm happy with my freckled non-vintage non-kosher parmesan-lookin new rock. I just touched up my quarter hollow w/15 passes on it, and saw a successful HHT for the first time ever with my own...

Thanks Randy - this is very helpful.

Does anyone progress from a coticule to an escher/thuringen, or are they so similar that that'd be sort of a waste of time?

In Arthur Boon's "personal observations" he says that Dovo hones its razors "on a very fine Belgian Old Rock and succesively on a even finer one, called Escher waterstone."

Do people on this...

I went to The Perfect Edge last week. I don't think Howard had a single coticule that was uniform in color. Is this a vintage/modern stone thing?

How important is it that it be free of lines or speckles? I just bought one from Howard that's a nice yellow, is supersmooth, but it has a grain to the eye alright. Looks like a hunk of Italian...

So you just hone on the blue til it passes the thumbnail test, then go to the yellow through the HHT?

Randy, when you use the blue and yellow together, do you use a pyramid?
