I'm an official Coticule honer but not yet a very successfull one... my successrate is 33.33%...
But I'm still learning and enjoying the experience..

Very cool. I was going to do that a couple weeks ago, when the prices of coticules jumped 50% over night. I was looking at Howard's site before I went to bed, had a couple of nice stones picked out, got up the next morning to find that the prices went up big. This was verified by Adrennes online store, too.
I'm still learning my new Shapton lineup, but I gotta admit, I'm still very curious about the coticule/BBW combo. Everytime I read one of Bart's posts on them, I end up looking at coticules/bbw's at various online vendors.

One of the problems with having so many hones is that it takes a long time to get to know them. OTOH,
I seem to spend all my time on the coticules. I've had an antique escher for several years and have not even tried it yet. Go figure.

[quote=sdsquarepoint;317989] Mike, give that Escher a go as a finisher after your coticule. Just use water. Compare the edge with what the coticule alone leaves. I am not sure if it is my imagination but I think I get a smoother shave. With Slurry Eschers are great for sharpening IME. I would'nt set bevels with one but they are great stones.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
