Thread: A Coticule Story.

These Pigtails often look like a Figure 8 when done fast... Possibly what you saw John ???

Or Maybe like this

Or this

Or if he omits the extra swirly stroke it would be more figure 8.

This looks like what he showed me & so does the 2nd video that Razorfaust posted.

both videos were done on a large hone, his razor hone is hand size 5" ,,, so it was a bit difficult to take it all in when he was doing it.

I really did enjoy these videos,,,, thanks guys,,,

Outstanding read and amazing experience, thanks for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed this one and smiled all the way through it

I've seen this figure 8 honing diagram. I will take photo of it and post before next weekend. My barber friend showed me the book from barber college.
Hes been a barber since 1964.
He still uses the hone. Cant talk him out of it[emoji1]

His hone is palm sized as well.
Most of his razors are wore heavily on the toe.
How long it takes to wear out a razor for him. I dont know.
Heres some junk he gave me.

Thanks but credit for digging up those videos should go to RusenBG he posted them on another forum. I just remembered and said to myself " Self I know I saw what Hirlau was talking about somewhere AHA! I know" Then posted em here Im glad you liked them in the end strip away the style essentially its just an x stroke more or less.

Interesting story, great looking coticule, treasure it, Enjoy!

And won't thin out the toe of the razor or the WHOLE spine. Thats what i see in the videos, and watching the barber.
They ARE honing the WHOLE razor
JMO

Here's one more watch the crazy smile razor this guy hones near the end.
