Thread: Coticule or Shapton?

Yeah I messed up and used my Escher blue/green after my coticule and got a really nice shave before I read that and found it wouldn't do me any good. I just re-read the fellow's ad and he is saying , as noted by Neil and Kevint, that the synthetics leave the wire edge or burr and the Escher polishes it off.

On the following the coticule with an Escher he is saying there is no point as the coticule leaves as fine an edge as the Escher so it is redundant. I don't think that is necessarily so. Might depend on the stone. I know that Lynn often follows whatever stones he is using with a blue/geen Escher. I think that includes coticules, at least until the Shapton 16K came along.
