Never tried a coticule but they look desirable

+ 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!)
Nice collection.

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

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.
