EU guys:

Leon
Bart

and then the UK guys...

I can't think of anyone closer...


If you are going to try the jump right in method, and do it using the Coticule then without a doubt you want to read Bart's methods, he is without a doubt one of the best with that stone....
It won't be easy though, just warning you up front, you'll have a ton of things to learn....
There is a lot to learn, and it wasn't as easy to learn for me as other methods. However, the payoff was worth it to me.

For new guys, I'd recommend going into it with a cheap razor and a lot of patience
