Thread: Bartmann issue

I cant remember or find the member who said this but i took his advice on the Coti and it turnrd out a fantastic edge!!... Best Coti edge i have done myself for sure.. He said that when finishing on his coti he does nothing but dry stone light, long strokes, and quote a few of them.. Did this with my Bartmann while periodic lapping in between.. Just a great, keen, and comfortable shave!! Have a Wilber Elk that was getting close to a finish touch and did the same approach and recieved the same great result.. Not saying i will use dry coti finishing on all of my razors but i am very thankful someone pointed thus out.. I appreciate it!

I use my BBWs and Cotis dry only anymore, much better edges and both great capable finishers

I've tried all other imaginable methods on these stones, but dry honing > anything else for me


Not sure what you mean with lapping in between, the stones get better the more they're used dry without lapping them

Thank you for the advice on using my coti dry... It has worked very well for me.. Used this on 4 razors now with same results.. After finishing one and before the next one i have done a few light figure 8's with a dmt 320... Yet to try on my BBW but will certainly see how it goes on that stone too...

I've gone back and forth between the coti and bbw dry, see which one you like best as none are the same and yield slightly different results.

I'm very happy to hear about your results and would love to hear back about your future results!

I am leaving in a few minutes to pick up one of my regular's... Have to get her to a Drs appointment a few hours south in Grand Rapids.. Her appointments normally last a few hours so i am bringing my BBW to use on a japanese Coral... Looking forward to the outcome.. I will let you know gow it turns

I have honed a few and they like it rough so hone um like you hate um
