Bought a coticule bout and slurry stone



and started payin dues

Learning how to get a shave-able edge, at least for me, took a long time. Of course though, I was also learning how to shave with a straight razor, and learning how to strop it too, which compounded my honing learning curve.

No regrets choosing that route. I like shaving with a coticule edge. I also like the fact I can use this same stone for touch ups, negating the need for a pasted strop
