I watched Lynn's video and in that, when he hones a razor, he uses the venerable Norton 4000/8000 but then uses a Belgian Coticule to finish.
I started looking into the Belgian Coticule and all information that I can find indicates that this is also an 8000 grit stone.
I was wondering if the Coticule is 8000 also, is there any appreciable advantage to finishing with that or am I better off with one of the high grit Shaptons or something? Furthermore, do I even really need anything beyond the Norton 4000/8000?
If finishing with the Coticule is really the best, can anyone recommend a good source to purchase one?
Thanks,
Frank
