Thread: 1k - BBW - Coticule Does anyone else even use this any longer???

I can tell you I actually enjoyed the shave this morning from this razor..

As many that have read my threads and posts have noticed I am not a huge fan of old heavy Sheffield steel on my face, fact is, in my collection (near 100 razors) I own 2 Sheffield razors... This shave this morning was very comfortable and I pushed it even did a full ATG pass, mainly because of this thread...

As to a Vid ??? Really everything I did is already in there I just added the BBW in the middle instead of some Synthetics

Chosera 1k bevel set
BBW light slurry to train the edge to the stone about 20 Pigtails, dilute out for the next 20 or so X strokes maybe 15-20 out on clear water
Coticule same as BBW above maybe a few more X strokes on clear water...


I am not so sure of a desire to shave off the BBW I guess it is plenty sharp but so is the Chosera bevel set, but under the loupe at 30X it looks about the same scratch pattern as a 3-4k Synthetic.. I know I can smooth it up some with tricks but it isn't something I would aspire too,, Just way to many excellent finishers in the "Hone Chest" to me it would be the same as wanting to make a 4k Norton, a 5k Naniwa or even a 6k King my final stone, I know I could, but I just don't chose to

My first BBW was on a Vinatge Coticule, and it worked, I think this 8x3 that I just got works better, but not a huge difference, and the difference might be I like the 8x3 size the best
