Back then, I used this progression: DMT1200 - BBW/slurry - Chosera10K - Coticule/water.
The shaves off the 10K were excellent as well. I took me 30-60 light X-strokes on the Chosera10K to max out (measured with HHT).
I could also skip the BBW and replace it with the Chosera5K.
Nowadays, the Chosera sees little use around here. Occasionally, I hone a few razors till they max out on the 10K, and then refinish on different Coticules for the sake of having a fixed base of comparison. But I've done this often enough to know that there are no difference between Dilucot on a Coticule, and a finishing on the same Coticule after the 10K.

Yes the Chosera10K can easily handle an edge that went halfway through a Dilucot procedure. But I don't really see the advantage of doing it. I find the challenging part of honing to get the finish right. I'm talking about that last bit of keenness that can make the difference between a decent edge and a superior one. That part can be evasive on a Coticule, as well as on a Chosera or on any hone for that matter.
Kind regards,
