You'll get your edge as sharp as you would on any synthetic or JNAT. In fact I've gotten my razors too sharp on 3 different BBW's and had to tone them down a little.
I value your opinion, however I just have a different opinion. The best coticule, in my opinion, would come no where near the comfort and sharpness of even a mid range jnat. Again that's me and my opinion, based on the shaves I've had off many coticule and many jnats. In reality it's like debating over what's better, a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. It's about trying all the options available and determining what works best for you, which it looks like we have both accomplished. I challenge anyone willing to try and shave my face with a coticule edge and prove me wrong, heck now I'm thinking about playing with mine again! I've spent many hours, tried all the tricks mentioned, and still end up on a jnat...
