Thread: Help with extremely though coticule

Hi

Some time ago I got a new coticule. La veinette, combo with manganese lines, cloudy blue hues. The stone is hard, very hard. The first slurry stone disintegrated, I wrote the mine itself and got another one. (let me say, the costumer services of Ardennes is first rate).

The second slurry stone seemed to be tougher, but after a couple of months I notices that all the slurry comes from the slurry stone and not the hone itself, so I wrote again to Ardennes and they sent me 2 slurry stones, from the same la veinette vein both combo with BBW and tough as they come.

My problem now is that I cannot make any slurry at all its like rubbing 2 pieces of glass.

I do want to make the hone work, for touch ups its amazing, from hht 0, with dificult shaving to hht4 and amazing shave, it take only 100 laps on water. I would like to use it for the entire sharpening process.

How can I make some slurry with such a hard stone?

Thanks
