Thread: Is an inexpensive route available

www.theperfectedge.com
The belgian coticules are good stones, and a smaller coticule would be relatively cheap (like 30 or 40 $).

There are other stones, but I haven't used them so I cannot comment.

How do they cut. Would they replace say, a norton 4k or would they be like a barber hone more polishing than cutting?

Thx

They cut relatively fast for their high grit, and can sharpen most razors (especially full hollows) if you have enough patience (it could easily take hundreds of passes for a really dull razor). If you have a wedge without a working edge then you are going to need something courser though.
