Tackling various shapes of coticule whetstones became second nature for me. Each part of razor edge needs equal 'mileage' on stone, and hopefully each part of stone gets equal time cutting razor's edge, too. Use strokes which vary the blade's exposure to hone over the course of travel, or try strokes which allow the entire razor along the hone, catering to its unique physical dimensions. Don't be afraid to learn the toe-first stroke, it is a valuable tool.
