    You guys are really helping me out here. thanks so much. I think I will be looking for a yellow coticule soon, or maybe a combination of blue/yellow coticule. Now I just need to see how to lap properly with sandpaper. I will do a search.

    Disb,

    Were I not a shaver with serious Hone Acquisition Disorder (HAD) I'd likely have started and stopped with a 6" x 2" coticule, possibly the natural combination variety with the obverse yellow coticule and the reverse blue belgian.

    Take a look at both Jim Ayars' Vintage Blades hone section and Howard Schechter's The Perfect Edge for these stones. Howard will lap the stone for you for a nominal fee. Once done, for one shaver's touch-up use, it may never need to be lapped again. That stone, backed up with a CrOx charged paddle strop for a final polish, may be all one would ever need to maintain one's razors.

    good luck, good shaving

    I got by for years with just a barbers hone.
