Yeah mine has got me by. I just have to wait like 20 minutes for it to soak. And I have a smaller one. The one that comes in the stand. I don't like that.
Mine is actually a combo 1K/6K, I just flip it when I am going to finish on the Black Hard Arkansas. Three stone progression 1K, 6K, BHA. Ends up with an edge that is really hard to beat for closeness, however, the Coti is definitely TOPS for comfort along with a very close shave

Don't laugh. I use sandpaper for bevel setting. Works great, I get as big a honing surface as I want, its cheap and I dont have to buy a rock that seldom gets used, it is as flat as the surface I stick it to and never needs lapping, it is disposable and expendable, and it just plain works great. Plus I can start with whatever grit I think is appropriate to the razor and the amount of steel I anticipate removing.

Nothing wrong with that.
Naniwa SS 1k. Also have a King 1k but I use that a lot for knives
1+. Soft Ark oil-stone works well in a pinch too, as does the time-honored Norton 1000 water-stone (~800 JIS).

I all set now guys thanks!
CKTG is a board sponsor and they have them. I bought all my Shapton Pros from them.

Just curious as to where you heard this. If this is legit, I will buy some backups. Thanks!
Naniwa SS 1K for normal bevel setting, or if it's really out of wack the SS 800. Under running water cuts fast..
They still sell the pros here (the Ha no Kuromaku line anyway, which is what the Pro line is.) They still sell the older M15 and M25 here too. So I doubt they are phasing out the Kuromaku line.
It's possible they might be eliminating the Pro packaging and just going with Kuromaku now that the name is better known? It's the same stone.

I had the nubatano (sp?) and it was fine.
I've also used the DMT 600-1200 duasharp
I now only use the chosera 1k

Ive tried the DMT1200/EF8", he Shapton glass 1k and 2k, and Chosera 1k. I really liked trying different bevel setters bc it was the one thing I was good at. And could max out. The Shap Glass 1k was faster than the Chosera 1k, the DMT initially turned me off bc of the feedback and sound, but once I lightened pressure up it actually wasn't that bad. And it was nice to just whip it out and hone, knowing it was flat enough... The feedback on the Shap Glass 2k wasn't as enjoyable as for as bevel setters go (IMO). Chosera has the most enjoyable feeling and sound, DMT easiest to use, Shap Glass 1k, possibly faster than the DMT?? Didnt have em at the same time, but wouldnt be surprised.
If I ever try my hand at straights again, i'd probably get the Chosera 800 and a Shap Pro 1.5, bc buying the same stone twice makes me think about how much money i've spent ( cringe emoji )

I thought I read it here actually. Maybe it was something else. Nope here it is. I knew I wasn't crazy! But it doesn't mean it a true. My tablet is a pain so I can't copy the link but here's a screen shot. Its number 4.
