Rob, I would love to get a Naniwa set from 1k to 12k but at this stage the cost is far too prohibitive. My idea was to use the Coticule on edges which just need a touch up, just to practise the action of honing (which as far as I know, doesn't change - you're just adding slurry into the equation) and then perhaps later on I might get additional stones, such as a 10 or 12k finishing stone, but as it is I'm wanting something that can get me into honing with relatively little up front investment.
Any thoughts on that? Am I just wasting money for an inevitable end goal or is that a viable option?

They seem to cut very slowly with water alone so I've found it's important not to jump to plain water too soon. Make sure you have got the max out of the edge with slurry before finishing with plain water otherwise you will just be polishing a dull edge.
If your razor is very dull it will take a while to set the bevel but who's in a hurry?
