I got this Henkels a few years ago in an eBay lot. I finally pulled it out and cleaned it up today. It was butter knife dull so I started with a DMT325. Then Chosera 1k and Nani SS 4-8-12 and finished on my Nakayama Kiita.

Yesterday's honing, R. Bouyges, Albi (France), 6/8, on 'La Nouvelle Veine' coticule, standard dilucot followed by lots of linen (and leather), excellent!
+ family photo (my coticules):
- top row from left: 'La Verte' x 2 (glued to slate); 'La Nouvelle Veine' (natural combo with BBW); 'Les Latneuses' hybrid (2mm of yellow coticule on the other side) - all from Ardennes Coticule.
- bottom row from left; glued to La Lorraine; natural combo with BBW; glued to BBW; glued to BBW - all ye olde stones from flea markets or trades.
Very happy with them except for Les Latneuses and the orange bout where I feel I haven't yet really cracked the code....(surely my fault, not the stones!)Last edited by MichaelS; 10-06-2017 at 06:38 AM.

Thanks, do you (like me) also enjoy sudoku, crosswords, chess, self-inflicted problem-solving generally? If yes, the coticule is your stone! Originally Posted by JOB15

There's a definite finesse about Coties, every one of um is a bit different IMO Originally Posted by JOB15

After few razors with average results I hit a home run yesterday. Friodur 72 1/2, bevel set on 1K Chosera followed by Ohira suita. Then koma and 2 tomos on this nakayama habutae I got from So few months back. The stone when dry is almost white. Has some nashiji on one end. Shave was very close and comfortable. ATG on my neck was a piece of cake and zero burn with alum and alcohol aftershave.

Newly acquired grelot. Razor appeared already sharp, 30 passes on my 5”x2”x1” awesome coticule seems to have done the trick (bevel free of any rust/pitting, nice mirror polish). Will test shave tomorrow
