Thread: Coticules

Hey guys,

just wanted to share a picture of my 2 natural combo coticules and a small combo coticule that lost the yellow side.

The top one belonged to my great grandfather, the yellow side is getting thin; the other ones I bought somewhere.

I just lapped them a bit, so they're a little wet / dirty on the sides.

I can see a big difference IRL, the one from my GGF looks smoother and cleaner and weighs a ton, the layering is different; the other one is bigger but lighter and was really dirty, probably saw a lot of use.

I have yet to try out these hones as I just re-started with straight razor shaving so I can come to a conclusion about them.
But I remember the top coticule to give amazing edges.
I also had outstanding edges coming off the BBW. I'm not sure what I prefer, the BBW is also amazing.

Anyway, I will try to upload a close up, good quality pic of the surface later on.

The DMT left scratches on the surface unfortunately, not too happy about that, but I'll probably rub my coticules and BBW together to get rid of 'em.

Cheers
