Rockwell harness 10 on the C scale is pretty soft . . . How about a Rockwell 57 -59? Tough and keeps an edge!

My philosophy to Coticules is try to get more of them not less.
Yesterday I bought a stone just by seeing the first picture (it was in a lot together with 2 razors and a strop and my main focus where the razors). I thought it might be a Belgium blue or some other high grit stone.
When I got it in my hands and turned it over I was very pleased. It’s a 20 cm x 4 cm Coticule
, yes it has some scratches but nothing that sandpaper can’t handle. I already have 2 other Coticules a 12x4 cm and a smaller one whose not rectangle but I think this is going to be my number 1 Coticule.
Btw the puma is just to show the size, it wasn't the razor in the lot.

Nice rock, Skizzo!!
That looks like a natural combination as the blend from yellow to blue looks seemless. Nice find, and it's a great size too.

Very nice. Just getting a Blue in that size would have been a great bonus, but getting a natural combo is really special.
And your philosophy of acquiring more coticules is mine as well, I just love them. I've been lucky finding them over the past several months, sometimes cheaply. And the nice thing about finding a cheap coticule is that unlike most inexpensive old razors, it doesn't require a bunch of restoration work to see it's potential. They are beautiful and useful as they are.

Just thought you guys would like to see what was under the scratches and dirt. I honed a couple of razors on this hone and it gives a better finish than my other coticule. So I’m really happy with this one.
The hone also has a sort of grain (in the length of the hone) my newer coticule doens't have this. This is even more clear when looking at the bbw, it’s really a beautiful hone and looks even better than on the pictures. While sanding a very small chip came of 1 of the corners
but that’s not a problem for honing. Both sides where sanded until gritt 1200.
