Michael, thank you for this excellent post! I can only add that you are a great "student", and a lot of fun to hang out with. You are remarkably quick to pick things up, and you ask very good questions. I think that you will be getting great results in short order. You are passionate about this hobby and your restorations looked amazing.

Giving a honing lesson on a stone I had never used before was a bit of a daunting task. Luckily your Coticule was very predictable and easy to work with. I wound up getting some pretty good edges, some of my best with a coti. It also helped that you had three wonderful vintage razors to work on.

Thanks again for the opportunity to share my skills, and to talk at length about my techniques. It really was my pleasure. I just enjoy sharing this hobby with others. Isn't that what SRP is all about?

Michael
