Thread: Honing a Wacker only with coticules

I aquired a new Wacker (DORKO) and it was sharp so-so...
Ok I started taping the spine, started with the BBW with and without slurry, the yellow coticule with slurry, then diluting the slurry more and more, then I went to the Naniwa 12000 SS, 10 laps on chromoxide on strop, finishing with plain leather some 50 laps.
It still didn't shave like I wanted.
I presumed microchipping was the culprit.
I restarted the honing process with only the 2 belgian coticules, some laps on the chromoxide and then plain leather: now it gave the best shave I ever had!
I really can't understand what went wrong in the first process: was it microchipping?
Anyway, the coticules proved once again how superior they are and this Wacker razor became one of my best razor.
