Hey! Awesome pictures JPO. I recently got a black shadow and did a similar honing seccion like yours here but without the jnats just coticule to black shadow. Edge came out screaming sharp. Cheers my friend
My idea of a nice night in.
Two razors to touch up on kiita Jnat followed by an oiled black Ark.
What a deadly combination, the black Ark seems to improve any edge I put onto it.

Old Rock on the Dovo wedge. The stainless steel I would guess is the main reason but this razor is the most difficult blade to hone. This coticule gets jobs done some how.
Found a bevel in this fbu that was being a microchipping pig in the dead center of the bevel for way too long.
Finished on this beautiful old coticule on oil.

My last jnat edge on this blade was a big disappointment, nowhere near sharp enough after it was too sharp off a Naniwa 12k. I took it to the SG 8k and then back to the same Jnat with very light slurry. Much better this time but could still be a touch sharper.

Hello. How soft does the translucent leave the edge? Funny
Tula razor chip repair and 10k finish.
The chip was removed with a small EE-fine dmt plate.
Just these two stone/plates was used.
Moving from a hard abrasive surface to a softer surface, combined with some pressure management produces some interesting results.
This is not a traditional compound bevel. One layer of tape was used for all the steps.
The diamonds also cuts deeper at the base then just behind the apex.
I have honed 4 different razor this way, and the results are quite consistent, and the shaves have been greate.
10k edge after 15 strokes.

I find my Translucent Ark has a kinder face feel than my Black Ark. If I had to compare it to anything I would say Charnley Forest. I believe my Black just leaves a little keener edge. I like all 3 but if I had to pick an order of those three it would be 1) Trans, 2)CF, 3) Black Ark.
I have two translucent arkansas stones and they are similar. One might be a little faster. Both make a smoother feeling edge than my other stones and probably a little sharper, but I am usually moving to the arks after either a Thuringian or a Naniwa 12k, so the edges are already quite keen.
I have been following your testing and honing on diamond plates. Night before last, in depths of my boredom I decided to test correcting with a diamond plate, something I have never been comfortable with. I took my gold monkey and slammed it on my desk 3 times and completely destroyed the edge. It was toast. I proceeded to to correcting it on a 320 then a 600 diamond plate. The work on the diamond plates was faster than I anticipated. The 1K work took a bit longer but that was expected. Last night I added a layer of tape and went to a Coti for Dilucot, I followed that with a shave. The shave was good and the the overall experiment was a positive experience. Those who read any of my posts know I am away from home 21 to 28 days at a time. The only synthetic I keep on me at work is a king 1/6, but I do travel with that 320/600 plate. I feel much better now about any serious corrections I need to make with my travel gear. Thanks for planting the seed JPO. Four more days before I go home, as you can see times are desperate, and sleep is in short supply. I will try to stay out of trouble

Lately I’ve been using an Atoma 1200 then on to a Chosera 3K. Very quick and the results are very good.
How it shaves is the only measure that really matters
