Thread: My Dear Coticule...

Hey guys,

went back at it on the coticule/slurry and BB and coticule with water.

I tried to shave with it but as I thought the toe and heel were pulling quite a bit. The middle part of the blade seemed OKAY though. Looks like I'm gonna have to get the marker out again!

The marker's a great tool for developing all kinds of honing strokes. Sounds like you're getting there.

I've just had a great shave of the bbw yellow bevel was set just rehoned on bbw slurry 75 yellow same no paste. so don't give up on your new hone once you have good bevel that is all you will need to do.

Sorry yellow water not slurry.

I got a DMT 1200 6x2 on the way. I can't find them in Canada but my parents are in Florida on vacation and when my dad called today I asked him if he could drop by a woodcraft store and see if they got any. I should have it soon!

This should take care of my bevel issue! After that I can use my Belgian blue followed by the coticule with water and the strop or cr0.

Can't wait! I've always wanted a DMT stone.

You will set bevel alot quiker on that i have tryed setting bevel on yellow with slurry on realy blunt razors with no bevel and it just did'nt seem to get there 1k norton straight there in maybe 200 passes 30 min to an hour. i would prefer the 1200 dmt good choice .

I really like the belgians but I feel like with my experience and with my particular stone a DMT 1200 would pretty much guarantee a good bevel. Bart has many coticules in his repertoire and I don't know if mine is up to the task for bevel setting.

Plus I could use the 1200 to lap the coticule and blue when they need some lapping!!
