Thread: how are the brand name hones like CMON and DD

I like coticules, but I dont think you will see an improvement from 12k -> coticule though.

I may be wrong though and often are.

Ecshers name does come up quite a bit but never see them, or rarely at best on ebay. It seems I need to look into flea markets and such because I am hearing great stories of amazing finds.
I found that antique stores and the like here in the city deal more or less in jewelry and furniture, but I will do more research.
In the meantime I am working on my technique and practicing. Too bad I don't have anyones shoulder to look over or ask questions about razor problems. Well, I do have the videos and you all to bounce questions off of, but some things you just need to be shown, hands on.
Maybe the big meet on the 2nd will bare some fruit for me.
Anyway, thanks again for the words guys.
