Thread: Just got my second Coti

Got my second Coti, a La Veinette. It is a remarkable little rock. Used the unicot method for the first time and made short work of this Challenge razor. I had doubts about my ability using one stone from start to finish but damned if I didn't pull it off. These stones are incredible. If you're thinking about getting a Coticule, do it. I know I'm hooked.

Very nice stone. How hard is it? I've only had one LV from the new quarry and it was a little on the soft side.

Where did you get the stone at? I am looking for one about 2x6 in size but can't spend too much on it.

I am far from an expert but I believe this one to be moderately hard. Definitely harder than my other Coti which is an older natural combo.

i bought it off an individual on a Facebook group page. I saw some on this website though- Razor Honing Stones – Griffith Shaving Goods and they all seem very reasonably priced. I've never dealt with this vendor though so I can't vouch for them but they do have some good looking stones.

Nice looking stone! I have been craving one for awhile but haven't pulled the trigger yet. You might have pushed me over the edge!

Great guy to deal with; met him in person and saw his awesome collection.

Try the superior shave he has a good selection and reasonable prices and is very helpful. I asked a lot of questions and he answered them all and great to deal with.

Yes the superior shave is well, truly superior. I got my first coti from them and the service was unparalleled. I highly recommend them. I recommended the other vender because I thought SirMike meant he was looking for a La Veinette specifically and I didn't notice any on the superior shave but did on the Griffith site. At any rate SirMike, I hope you find the stone you're looking for

I have looked around on their site and they do have a few that I like but those are all over $130 or so.

I was thinking about the La Veinette one as I heard good things about it but also was told that the vein doesn't matter as much compared to how the stone looks per a conversation with superior shave so not stuck on that vein anymore! I too hope I find a good one but honestly dont know exactly what I am looking for!
