Thread: Coticule help - have an edge, but can't get it sharp

I think ive got it right,a coticule produces the best shaving edge not the sharpest necessarily.A synthetic stone can produce an extreemly sharp edge,unfortunately often producing an uncomfortable shave due to scratching pattern on the edge,fortunately for us if that blade is subjected to a coticule water only no slurry,one can get the best of both worlds,the coticule will not remove the super sharpness of the synthetic,but will smooth out the scratches,giving the best shave.I believe a coticule is best for bevel use as the slurry, although will take the extreemly sharp edge off a well honed razor, will for bevel use keep
burrs and false edges at bay creating the perfect bevel.Anyhow that is how i understand it.Unfortunatly i have a couple of french razors and a japanese that doesnt do too well due to very hard steel on my coticule
Ive ordere a Sigma 11 select for this, i will give a final finish on the coticule without slurry for the perfect edge.Sorry if the English is not up to much.
