This is my first post here, so just wanted to say hi. Very happy to be a member of this forum. This place seems to be filled with the most practical advice/knowledge I have seen on honing.
Anyway, I purchased my first coticule about 8 months ago and after some frustration sold it off. I have since been honing on my J-Nat using a nagura progression subsequent to setting bevels on my Naniwa 2K.
Well, two days ago I purchased a La Veinette from Jarrod and I am diving in head first. I am getting rid of my Naniwas as I want to hone on one stone and nothing will stop me this time. :
My question is: Since I do have some experience honing, although no expert, should I still start with Bart's "six day" plan to get familiar with my stone? Would this be a good place to start?
