Thread: Coticule hones

With slurry you can effectively just use the yellow coticule to hone the razor - diluting the slurry as you progress until you're just polishing with water and no slurry.

With this said, its easier in many ways to go through a 4k then 8k hone and then use the coticule to finish up. When touching up, use lots of water and keep pressure increasingly light - you should be able to achieve a very nice edge without major headaches.

I have a bbw/coticule combo stone and I've rarely used the bbw stone - it just feels like a slower coticule with no advantages. Am i missing something?
