My New Coti

It thought I'd lash out & get a select one this time. Size is 150mm x 40mm. My others have been standard grade.
The instructions I posted with the order were for a very hard, very fine finisher that was on the fast side. I love my other coti finisher but hate how slow it is. This is a heavy, dense hard hone & exactly what I wanted in speed & finish.

This is what arrived with a note written on it in pencil from Maurice. Even came with a slurry stone, which I wasn't expecting. Was not expecting a natural combo either :) I simply ordered a coticule. The hairlines are not cracks but the coti buffs out there would know that.
Microscope pics over a manganese hairline & one of blue side.

2 Shave tests in & I'm over the moon with how it works. "Succes" indeed :D
Gotta love the service from Ardennes :tu

Beautiful combo hone.

That is freaking awesome. I don't give a damn what vein my coticule comes from, but to be able to describe the characteristics I want, (and who the hell doesn't want "fine and fast?") and to be able to get just that, oh man, that is priceless.

I think I have 19 coticules. After I get a job, I may try to place such an order with Ardennes and see if I can sneak number 20 past my wife!

Great looking stone. I would love to get one I just don't know how to order one. The website is a bit confusing to me.

19 Coti's!! Holy smokes. Were you excited each time you got a new one, or did it wear off eventually? I'm just about to get #1, and I'm pumped.....I've got a few razors patiently waiting for their buttery smooth edge.

Onimaru - that is a great looking stone! congratulations.

that Os is a beautiful looking coti, well done!!

but does that mean you no longer need the others lol
because you know if they suddenly feel lonely and under used ;)
