Thanked: 286As some may no i'm in the barber trade and i have a shop that is now ben established 77 years , i've owned the shop for 16 years. Jim who still works thursday mornings and is 80 years old and his dad before him used a coticule, i have seen t , it was wrapped in a wrag and worn nearly to the slate and it was well dished. Now i asked him about slurry stone and slurry . he did not have a clue what i was on a bout. they used there coticule with water . Now the wrag was coverd in yellow powder, i can only asume it was slurry, caused by honing, auto slurry. As they placed the hone on the cloth. another barber in austrailia said he never used slurry stone. he call ed his coti a soap stone. he set the edge on his little combo norton, one of the small ones, and he said he just finished on soap stone with lather. two barbers in the later years and neiter of used slurry.

Thanked: 286well i could not wait, i just had a shave of slurry and sham was right, you can shave of slurry, the edge was perfectly smooth, i'd find it hard which one to choose water or slurry they both worked. So may be i'll just use slurry then water, best of both worlds. If i was asked which edge was the smoothest, i would be hard pushed to say, as both edges are very nice, there is defanatley a feel to escher that i realy liked, mayb e because it differant i liked it. the other thing is there so nice to hone on the surface with slurry and water is hard to beat.
