ok so i took a chance on a brown dirty ruff looking coticule off the bay !
and WOW am i glad i did ! about 2 minutes on the 325 and life was new born !! .. so i took a newedge Sheffield that showed up the same day and off i went !!
its a smaller stone i figured i would use on those smile's and warped blades but i may have found my new weapon of choice when it comes to stones !! have not shave tested but the metal on stone just felt so nice
