Thread: overhoning??

I have a nice Wade & Butcher that I just ran on a coticule 30x with pressure and 10x w/o
When I shaved earlier, it gave me a lot of red bumps as in irritation. This is the first time this happens to me with a SR
Is it possible to overhone with a coticule?
Here is a picture of the razor

Unlikely. It is much more likely that you have an incomplete bevel. I hone using a loupe and recommend them because it removes a lot of guessing. Give it a good look and check at the tip of the apex to see if your bevel is complete.

Overhoning on a Coticule?

My answer would be no.

As said there are other issues, but overhoning isn't one of them

Not doing enough laps otoh is gonna be worse than doing "too many" laps

I strongly don't believe overhoning on a Coticule is possible, I probably have done 1000 laps on one and never had an issue.

Although a GOOD stropping sessions of at least 100 laps on the linnen will do great things coming off a Coticule ime.

You can create a burr with any stone, coticules included, if they are aggressive enough. 40 laps ain't gonna do it tho .

I had a wedge that no matter what I did "it seemed" , I simply couldn't get it to stop pulling.
Sent it to a friend, turned out I had an uneven wonky spine from my "restoration" efforts and that caused it to sit wrong on the edge while honing.
I didn't have the skill sets to get it right, still learning.

When in doubt I send it to a pro, but maybe that's not the best way to go about it.

30 with 'pressure'? That would do it?
