Thread: Where to buy coticule in Belgium

Right, I'm off to belgium tomorrow, and, as the title suggests I may well pick up a coticule while there. Does anyone know anywhere I can buy one in either Brussels, Ghent, Bruges or around Charleroi? I'm under the assumption that it'd be cheaper to buy one in the source country. Any help is appreciated

2 places I know: the quarry: http://www.ardennes-coticule.com/engels.htm

And this shop in Antwerp: http://www.shaving-and-razor-shop.com/NL/index.htm

I got mine from the quarry, if you ask Mr Celis, the owner, he'll show you round and direct you to the quarry across the road in the hills.

I bought mine from the quarry, it was cheaper than the prices on his price list. Bring your razors and he'll start telling you how to hone!
He's got some nice vintage coticules with a good story as well.

Excellent, Thanks

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll meet you there, Alan!!

(...you wouldn't mind a little company, now, would you DE - we'll behave, won't we Alan?...)

I bought mine from the shop in antwerp.
The proprietor is a friendly man, and they also do 2 hour honing courses for 15 euros.

The prices are OK, but I had to unlearn almost everything I learned that night.

What kind of things did they teach you, Bruno?
