Thread: Advice on purchasing a coticule

After reading up on how to use a coticule properly and watching some videos from Lynn and Glen, I reset the bevel and then moved on to the norton 4K Then moved on to the 8k. After that I went to the coticule for final polish. I used the nortons first since I know those pretty well. Raised a slurry on the coticule and went to honing lightly first with elipticle circles, and then regular x strokes. Diluting the slurry about every ten passes. I did about 60 passes on it. Then went to the balsa strop 10 passes on the crox. 10 passes on the iron ox side, stropped on linen then leather. Shave test time. The edge was greatly improved. Good smooth shave with only a little irritation on my neck. So now I have it to a better shave with this razor than with my normal progression. For some reason the tatricer razor has always been a little stubborn at taking an edge which is the reason I decided to practice the new stone on it. So I guess it's time to try some of my other razors out on it.
