Thread: GREEN BELGIAN COTICULE

Nice stone, you got a big-un. I don't use mine though, it's just nice to look at... see..
MIke

ive got a vintage coticule which is green. on the other side there is a bbw which feels very creamy.







this stone is pretty slow but really fine. hope you could see on pictures that its green

I noticed, that among coti stones green ones are hardest. What do you think?

Here is some more eye candy for you coticule lovers ..... looking at the second photo, the far left looks pinkish in the photos but it is egg shell white and a great fast fine natural. The next is a slate backed La Veinette from Ardennes with a creamy off white color. Third in line is a green natural that came to me from South Africa by way of Belgium. The internet makes for a small world. This stone is hard and slow with water only but sharpens well with slurry and finishes to a fine edge on water only. A huge natural with a yellowish hue and it is medium fast and fine. Finally the big daddy is pink/yellow natural and as one would expect it is fast but still leaves a fine edge. Enjoy.

Very beautiful stones. Recently I've lockated a very rear (from my point of view) coti - red-brownish color. It is in box and rather big, at least 100 years old, may be more. But the seller put such a price, that we bargain for last ten days. Money is one thing, I can imagine my disappointment if the stone is not good.

That is the dillema. I would have a hard time resisting such a stone but you don't kow what you have until you put a razor on it. If you get it please post photos.

Yes, sure. I did not notice bout stones in your collection. You don't like? Just 3-4 days back I bought a bout combo stone from Jarrod from "The Superior shave". Looks attractive. It will be my first combo.

I have nothing against bout stones. I have many more coticules in various sizes. I just showed those for the variations in colors and sizes. I am done with buying them though. Believe it or not I finally have enough.

My congratulations. I know how it's difficult to stop buying razors and stones. I try to spend less time with these toys, but without serious success.

yeah i think the green stones are slow ( and hard ) but leave a sharper edge that red and brownish stone should be a fast cutter i never met a coti i didnt like they are great stones
