Hey all,
So is it just me, or do you love the smell of a coticule?? I find they have a very distinctive earthy smell to them, especially when they're wet. I remember when I lapped my large 8x2 one, the bathroom had that coticule smell in it.....love it.
Am I sick?? :rofl2:
I like it too! It reminds me of freshly mixed plaster - or the foamed building blocks on a building site. My harder coticule doesn't smell as gorgeous as the soft one, and the BBW I have smells different again...
Sad, aren't we?!
Regards,
Neil
YOU'RE not sick, Dave, we all are. I also really like the smell of the Tam O' Shanter. To me it's got a mossy smell to it. I don't recall any of my Thuringians having an unmistakable smell like the Coticule or Tam though.

As a long time Mineral Collector and geology major I can tell you that just about all rocks have that certain smell about them when they are wet especially. It varies from type to type. I think its a wonderful smell.
Hmm! Sounds like a hone porn topic!Quote:

One of my Japanese hones (its full description is Maruichi Nakayama Namito Kan-maki Karasu) has a very strong earthy smell that took a while to get used to. It's so strong that my wife can smell it from the next room when I am honing with it! Most of my other naturals put off some kind of smell but nothing like this one. When I first started using it, I was kind of repulsed by the smell but I have come to really like it!
I too love the smell of a wet Coticule....
Glad to hear I'm not the only one to appreciate the smell of a nice stone!
I splash some coticule slurry on my neck before going out on dates, the ladies just can't resist it!!! :rofl2:
thats a good one :roflmao:rofl2:Quote:

Yup, there is just something special about the deelightful aroma of 400 million year old mud.:rock:
:y
"400 year old mud, paired with the scent of sawdust. The way a man should smell."
I think that cologne would sell! :roflmao
A BBW I got not long ago smelled like smoke for about the first two weeks I used it. Wet or dry, smelled like European cigarettes. I didn't mind.
Yeah, love that smell. It was the first thing I noticed when I started to hone with it, and the first thing Bart asked about it.
My first coticule has a very fragrant scent to it. My latest one, though, is a vintage stone that was soaked in oil. All it smells like is honing oil. :/
must be a sharp dressed man.Quote:
