Thread: what does a coticule edge feel like

Dull. But in a nice way. Mushy, buttery, some call it smooth?? I find them the kindest to my skin but yet to find a coti that you do not feel some resistance especially ATG. You love em or hate em.Personally I think there is to much debate about keenness. Granted the high grit synthetics are bullet proof and cotis are not easy stones to use. At the end of the day a razor only needs to be keen enough to cut hair. This may not be the most pleasant shaving experience, but I have had some of my closest shaves from these edges with enough passes. Very, very forgiving edge to the skin and you can really get stuck in with a bit of pressure.
I shaved yesterday with a razor honed on a Gokumyo 20000 and to be honest the shave was excellent (cruised through whiskers just razor weight) but felt that if my touch was anything but light as a feather I would have grafted some face skin. And to be honest the result was not very much better if at all. Just my 2 cents
