Thread: ONE COTICULE HONING

I think the dmt is great at setting bevels i like it better than my noton 1k if a rzor was realy bad then i'd use dmt. i try the coticule and if its not getting there quik enough but i mean taking for ages then i would use dmt. but what i'd do is get the bevel set with yellow and slowly dilue slurry down over 80 laps or so then finish on 100 light laps fresh water and i now use fresh bottled or filterd water because the water out of our taps can be hard with the lime in there just a greek guy gave me this tip and says it makes a differance. Then i strop on linen and leather i think the linen makes a differance. The shave i have found with this method can be very good if its not as good i then drop back to bbw sl then plain water and always gives a good smooth shave barts new method also works but me personaly i just don't like adding layers of tape i would rather just hone and have the normal bevel same as i don't like honing dry and have never tryed it. i must say honing with tape does feel a lot nicer on the hone.ch.5 is good stuff i like to think i can get shave ready of the hone but the truth is paste will probably always give that extra sharpness but should'nt be used to try and make up for not enough honing i'd feel like i am cheating my self.Also pressure on the belgiums play a big part and knowing how to keep your slurry right densaty always milky and misty looking seems to work to dense and you won't get that all important fine edge. You say you have sensative skin i no howard has sensative skin he finds bbw slurry and yellow slurry no water honing suits him (Milky light slurry.)I have tryed this and same again it does work i my self keep trying with and with out slurry and still tying to work what is the best result i don't think you can go wrong with bbwslu/yellow water just try all the differant ways.
