Thread: Coticule vs BBW

The discussion of how good an edge somebody can get from a BBW versus what the coticule can do seems to come up fairly frequently. I’m sure there is a forum thread on SRP that deals with it, but I gave up trying to find it and decided to just reinvent the wheel.

Here is the link to what seems to be a definitive discussion from coticule.be:

My reading on the web seems to indicate much more consistency in the results from BBW with much less variation in layers we seem to find in coticule.

UPDATE: I knew I had seen the following study, but only just now found it again.

Nice scientific methodology showing virtually no perceptible difference between a BBW edge and a coticule edge on the same razor.
