Thread: Lapping coti/bbw

That makes sense Glen. Question though...for example, with a Coticule, as long as you are using a coticule slurry stone, have you ever noticed a difference? I have used the 2 different coticule slurry stones I have, and even used my other coticules to raise a slurry, and I haven't noticed any difference. They are all from different veins. I can't remember where I saw it, but I thought I remembered Bart saying something about how it makes no difference on the edge when using different coticule slurry stones. Too much information! AKK! :P

Bart is a damn smart guy when it comes to these stones I think he has one as a second wife

But I don't think that is quite right, I don't see how it could be,,
Yes BTW I have tried a few on my own coticule and others and a few different ways of lifting slurry..

But you are talking about basically this

King 1k King 6k Norton 8k

Norton 1k Norton 4k Norton 8k

Shapton 1k Shapton 4k Norton 8k

Naniwa 1k Naniwa 5k Norton 8k

Chosera 1k Chosera 5k Norton 8k

Now if you expect all of those progressions to be the same at the end, then yes I guess it wouldn't matter what you used to raise the slurry

Keep in mind we just left the realm of Honing and Shaving, and launched ourselves into the realm of chasing that last elusive 1% of the edge that only matters to us nutz

So if we are talking about a simple shaving situation which is what Bart might have been referencing then yes I doubt you would feel much difference in the shave, just as the original question on this thread about is there a difference in how slick the surface of the finish stone is only us nutz care
