    Well I wouldn't consider 25 years ago recent .... but YMMV
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Hairdressers in the UK go to colleage for part of their training, then with a recognised hairdresser to learn the rest of the job.

    I have 3 coti now one select one kosher and vintage. how would i no which one would be the best polisher. they all seem the same to me just look differant. when honing feel slightly differant but not much. i would say the vintage one cuts slightly faster as the slurry goes greyish a little quiker and after 100 laps turns greyish with a hint of purple but does'nt create slurry very quikly like my other select coti that creates a clay slurry i dilute it down with water my kosher creates thin slurry just like vintage coti the vintage coti looks more glassy glazed which makes me think that it is harder and would be good polisher but it cuts fairly well hard coticules i've read are slower cutters. at least they all make mt razorssharp to shave with and i have not got one thatgives a bad egde.

    Well, "recent" is a relative term. I consider apprenticeships to belong more to the era of Ben Franklin, rather than the era of Ben Affleck!
