I have these stones:
To produce a slurry:
The stones have these limitations: 1) all three whetstones are short -- 6 inches, 2) the coticlule is narrow -- 1.5 inches. I know from experience that using the coticle I lap half the blade at a time (x-strokes introduce variance that I don't like).
I have three SRs with their bevels set but not sharp enough to shave with. I want to use the stones to bring one of them back to usable.
I want the progression to be based on using the Nagura stones and finishing on the Black Arkansas. What combinations of whetstones and slurry stones should I used? For example, can I use a Nagura progression on the Hard Arkansas, then finish on the Black Arkansas using honing oil?
- Ardennes Select Grade Coticule
