    Default Belgian coticule help!!

    I managed to pick up this Belgian cuticle at a good price a few weeks ago and I was hoping for a little information about it. I guess all I really need to know is what vein it might have came from and what the back is but any other information would be greatly appreciated. The best I can tell you about it right now is that it is a good finisher for razors and it does not Auto slurry.

    Thank you for your time and help!!!!

    Nice! looks like a nice natural combo coticule with a BBW for the back. That's all I got.

    Tracking the name of the vein is a new phenomenon, so most coticules just remain being called coticules.

    If you need a name for it, call it George.

    You may want to ask here: http://www.coticule.be/
    As mentioned before: veins are a recent thing. All named vein coticules come from Ardennes Coticule quarry. If yours is vintage and may have originated from an older quarry that is no longer in use.

    Perhaps it's a La Utopian.
