    Boy, that's a tough one...I couldn't get by without my Norton or my coticule. I've subscribed to the Lynn Abrams school of honing.

    I've learned to love my coticule even in the short time (less than a week) that I've been using it.

    Really depends on where you get them. I found a cheap place in Germany but they don't accept payment outside of europe. (no paypal) email me([email protected]) and I'll see if I can hook you up.

    Default Swaty

    I don't know the scientific reason but a Swaty makes it good. Not for rehabilitationg a razor that's been used as a pencil sharpener for the last eighty years but otherwise keeps the shaver shaving...

    Having said that, I just ordered a Norton 4/8K 'cause I'm a lemming.

    I was thinking about the Norton...but they're too damn expensive in Europe...Belgians are cheaper here.
