    I am sorry that I got ahead of myself...I shall photograph and post at least one or more ""Coticules"" in penance!
    Beautiful light green coti there Richard.

    Should we change the club to Vintage Boxed Natural Hones?
    I love the smell of shaving cream in the morning!

    If you would like I can edit the title of the thread to reflect that change ?

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Ok, how about: The Vintage Boxed Coti/Natural Hone Club

    Or we could start another club!

    The stone is about 1.5" x 4.25" in size. It does eave a nice edge for shaving with the final strokes on water only, after dilution.

    Trying to decide which is better. On the one hand it would be alright to have a stand alone thread devoted to the coticule, and another to various naturals, on the other hand it would dilute the attention paid from one to the other. It would also be cool to have a thread devoted to all types of vintage hones, all in one place. Your call ?

    You know I'm terrible at making decisions unless they involve ebay, alcohol and expensive stones.
    But let's go with that: The Vintage Boxed Hone Thread

    I insist on the 'box' part though. We can't just have any old hones turning up here.

    Ok now.....great decision....

    Vintage Boxed "Genuine Blue Sharpening Stone" not sure about it till now. Its quite fine, but probably not the best to be used on straight razors. It leaves a very sharp but also harsh edge....
