Hello Gentleman,
after reading every single thread in all known english and german speaking forums i`am still curious about the "hype" about it.
A good edge of this stone is no problem, but i don`t feel any advantage to a good thüri, jnat or coti edge!
I tryed some things:
Honed a straight up too Chosera 10k, then 10-15 turns on a La Lune : Little more natural feel but nothing outstanding, maybe less sharpness.
Honed a straight up too Ohzuku (my absolutely finest stone and i own some Jnats....) The edge was only less sharp, but still too sharp for my skin.
After Coti edge i felt no improvement at all, i tryed several times with more and less strokes...., after about 50 strokes on the LaLune the edge turned aggressive.
After Thüri the edge no really refinement, only smoothness was lost.
How do you use them?, i can preclude that the stone is not fine enough, i tryed every refinement with 4 different LaLunes, on different Razors of very good quality.
I hope a specialist here can tell me what`s the trick?
