Thanked: 1212That is exactly what turned Coticule-honing into a mild obsession for me and lead to all the different experiments: the fantastic, yet originally elusive, results I got. I have been comparing these results to that off the Chosera 10K, and to that of my Nakayama. A few weeks ago, Seth (SRP-member Zethlent) was so kind to send one of his Nakayamas accross the globe, for me to play with. Seth had great results of this hone, and so have I. But nothing that would embarrass a good Coticule edge. They all deliver nice pull-free shaves. In my opinion, the differences reside in a narrow region of individual preference, dictated by beard- and skin-type, and personal shaving style. Getting the desired keenness off a Coticule takes a bit of a special approach, considering the versatility of the use with slurry.
I reject the idea that one needs a large troika of hones to sharpen a razor. There are many hones on today's market. Many of them are interchangeable.
Best regards,
Bart.
