    Good Stuff!. I've yet to try that newer (old hone) one on its way. I also have two other coticules I'm currently using. One hard, one rather soft..I'm still learning how to use this softer stone, from tss..it makes lots of (soapy) slurry but the slurry doesn't really seem to cut as fast as the harder hone does, takes a while for it to turn grey.
    the harder stone kicks butt, smoother shaves and a bit easier to learn then this other one.

    i'll try and post pics of those later so I can have you guess again. my girl lost the camera's usb..

    You can certainly try, nothing wrong with that. The problem with idenifying old coticules is those areas of the mine have long been depleted and closed off from public access. The new stuff is from the other side of the mines and have different characteristics and appearances.

    hey Dis.. or anyone willing to drop their two cents?.would you gamble on a vintage hone at auction or pay top dollar for an unknown hone from an online seller?, figure one could ask for what your looking for but then again..cost a bit more dont'ya think

    I've seen a lot of cotis ,and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that that one, like many of the recent ones, comes from Le Emperor'snewclothes.
