Thread: How to use Coticule.

I have the same coticule and can spend two days with water only and get nowhere. Today I mailed it to Sham to play with. Let's hope he updates this thread with what he finds.

It's a fast bevel setter with slurry though.

Mine turns slurry black within ten half strokes, it is lightning on slurry.

Sounds like the same!

Mine is number 8 on Bart's site.

Yep, mine fits that one to a T. I was able to figure out dilucot on it but it took a ton of practice to get good edges. I now know the stone enough, you need to drag out dilution very long or the water will finish the razor too quickly.

That is really aggravating to me that someone would sell a coti knowing it won't do the job no matter what. Yes they are out there but back a few years ago those would never have made it out on the market for sale.
