Well I got tired off trying out my honing skills on my coticule. It split the HHT from my chest and cut hairs from my arm but no matter what technique I used I could not seem to get it any sharper. SOOO, I decided hell with it I'm shaving. Ewwww that was seriously painful, pulling galore, by far the worst shave I have ever had. (about a weeks worth of beard growth). But hey I suppose it is a learning experience and motivation to learn how to hone properly.
