Just got and tryed the 1k C today on a very dull old full wedge. what a fast cutter . the edge is much nicer edge tha i expected. highly recomended
Really, then what is the point of the 1K? If you start with a thick slurry shouldn't the coticule will do all the bevel work you need. I'm confused
Phil,I have done serious bevel work on a coticule with yogurt and on a chosera 1k. I bread knifed a frown and microchipping out of two different razors. The repair was a similar amount of metal taken. 4 hours later on the coticule with yogurt I was starting dilutions, it took 20 minutes on the chosera 1k, folowed by less than 10 minutes on yogurt to start dilutions.

Phil,
You hone with yogurt on your stones?I have seen people say they use some kind of a oil but never have I seen someone say they use yogurt.
I am afraid to ask because I might be going to the grocery store after work but what is the benefit of using yogurt?

No, it's God's way of telling you that you HAD too much money.Default I have HAD
Its God's way of telling you that you have too much money.
When you say breadknifing, are you literally holding the blade perpendicular to the stone? If so, then you are creating a lot of unnecessary extra work for yourself.

I think he is talking about the use of heavy slurry that is "yogurt" like. Usually it is referred to heavy "milk" like
Pudding is much better because of its consistency.
Naw, yogurt is better because of its benefits to your digestive tract, but the coticule slurry can feel a bit gritty going down.

Very, very naiveI'm thinking I'm pretty safe from HAD, Right?
I'm thinking I'm pretty safe from HAD, after some serious thinking, and some helpful emails for various sources, my hone setup will be a LPB Coticule and a Chosera 1K and a balsa strop with some CrOx, that should work allright I'm sure, I wouldn't need a 15k+ finisher then right? Right?

Blix,
We have the same exact setup.I like my LPB now that I figured out if I do too many laps with slurry I pretty much end up with a completly dull razor,40-60 laps seems to be the sweet spot,at least for me.
Paul
Uh huh. Sure.
I think you just have the milder affliction that better allows for budgeting...
