Nice. Those 6" Pike cotis are always good. I have a boxed super fine that will put a sick edge on a razor.
Looks awesome! And you pretty much got the gist of it. Make a slurry do some laps and add a drop of water. Repeat until plain water.I've officially joined the ranks.

About 4"x5". Snapped this picture and couldn't resist. Grabbed a razor that still needed bevel work and did a few laps just to see what "slurry" felt like and how adding water to dilute it changed things. Interesting... Swarf was produced and thinning the slurry felt more "fine" with reduced swarf production.
Now, on to YouTube to figure out what the heck I should actually be doing with this thing...

Lapped this today, incredibly hard and dense stone, on a similar level of hardness to a hard charnley. Had to lap with 240 plate and still took 40 mins.
Covered in what I thought to be deburring scratches, which to my surprise didn’t disappear with lapping.
Under the Swarf and dishing was this gem.
The single fastest coti I’ve ever used, with slurry it absolutely shreds steel. Would be no issue to remove 1k synth scratches..
Just tested my first razor with misty slurry and finished under running water. Treetopping arm hair like a champ, shave test tonight but this is going on the keeper shelf regardless.

It’s a raw cut pure coti chunk as most of the vintage bouts are,Let’s see the sides of that thing! It looks ancient.
