I have been using a coticule as my one and only stone but have come to the conclusion that I need a good bevel setter. I am not getting consistently good honing work done with slurry and now intend to use the coti only as a finisher.
Will a Shapton 2k be enough to set a new bevel when needed on a straight razor or would you recomend a 1k stone instead?
I am also adding a 5k shapton and have a 8k yaxell stone laying around. So progression would be:
2k -> 5k -> 8k -> Coticule under running water -> leather
Would this also be ok for light restoration work. Light rust, smaller chips in the bevel etc?
