Thread: Coticule Edge: Sharpening v. Finishing

I have honed a razor from bevel setting to finishing on a coti as well as setting the bevel on synthetics and synthetics to the finisher, which was a coti. I can not feel the difference once both are finished on the coti, when done correctly. The issue is knowing how thick a slurry to create and when to dilute and how much to dilute and how to tell when to dilute. If you rush the process the razor will not be as sharp as setting the edge with synthetics where it is easier to tell when the edge is ready for the next hone. It's easier to achieve the optimal edge off synthetics. You can get there with the coti but you need to be more conscious of what is happening at the edge and when to progress to less slurry.
