I have a petite Blanche coticule that so far I've only used to finish a razor with a properly set bevel. The stone is roughly 5" x 1.5" and has a natural BBW side. I'd like to start from bevel to finish (will probably go to a thuri after coti just because I like the edge a bit better). So my question is which side should I use to cut a bevel on? My instinct would be to start slurry on the BBW side with a taped spine (this is a near wedge Sheffield with a smile) then dilute until water then repeat process on the coti side using rolling x the whole time. Now according to the unicot and dilucot methods this seems to be wrong. According to those I should only be using the coti side with no tape and half strokes with slurry to set the bevel and then tape and dilute to finish the blade. Now to me I've always assumed if you start with tape then you continue with tape? So any help would be appreciated. I hate cutting too wide of a bevel so the tape seems to be the key to that.
