    Hi Maxime,

    I suggest you get in touch with another member, Bagister. He's in Montreal and has a few coticules, and he knows how to lap them. I'm talking "smooth like glass" smooth.
    If you're nearby, he's probably the best person to talk to.

    Good info so far. I would also go to http://www.coticule.be/home.html and watch the videos on honing with a Coticule, I have used both the Dilucote They can be tricky to learn as each one is different but once learned can produce very satisfactory results. I have used both the Dilutcot and Ellipticot method with much success.

    @Maxime; You have a good eye. That auction wasn't very well listed and most folks wouldn't have noticed it.

    You were bidding against me. So yes, you overpaid -- by $1.

    I have been trying to find myself a classic coticule/bbw and that was a nice size.

    Do you have experience sharpening razors?
