Whenever my razors need their edges refreshed, I'll do about 10 laps on a Coticule, followed by 15-20 laps on my Asagi. This produces really great, long lasting edges.
Now the thing that I'm wondering is - do any of you take the razor back down to around 8k or 10k before using your finishing hone of choice?
I do it because in my mind, by using the Coticule first I'm making a nice "blank slate" for the Asagi to work on. Does that make sense, or am I just hone-crazy?
