Wow, Randy just blew my mind. I've been honing under the impression that you could not over hone on the coticule. I typically do about a hundred laps or so before I shave test. For the life of my I can't seem to do the tpt so I rely on how well it shaves arm hair as my test.

Though after reading that Lynn only does 10-15 laps I think I'll pull it back some. I've never shaved off a bbw and assumed I needed more laps on the coticule to make it shave ready. This may change my whole outlook.

FWIW I've tried the TPT on a new double edge blade and can't feel a thing. Maybe I'me doing it wrong.

Anyway, to answer the post, I finish on a coticule. Lately I've used two to finish. The first is an old combo that is soft enough to draw a slurry on its own, then I follow it up with a much harder coticule. I don't know if that last stone does anything more but I like it.
