Thread: coti smoothness

I stroped my ti silver wing spec ial edition on my livi loom strop and caught the edge on the metal bar and it dulled halve the blade but did'nt cause any real damage.

I thought i'd hone it back with coticule slurry then dilute with water. It took quite athew laps on my kosher coti as it is'nt the the fastest cutter with slurry but it did get there in the end i finished on water 15 to 20 laps on livi chr.5 ox then stropped and it passed hht nicley. the blade had previously been honed my naniwas and ch.5 the shaves were great but i always thought it lacked a lttle smoothness but all my ti's have same feel to them Usauly i have always thought coticules lack a little keeness but not in this case the shave was so smmoth it was like silk i though i'd like to share this with new guys and experiance guys on srp becauase i gave up with coti because of lack of keenes but i'm starting to realize it was me and my aproach . I find you defanatley have to dilute your slurry slowly and finish on water and athew laps on paste optional .

The resulting shave was exallant and i forgot how smooth and sharp the coticule can achieve i think it needs patients and practice and you need to no what your coti can achieve they are exallant all round hones . I learn't how to make best use of mine through bart on srp is information is second to none!. Thanxs bart
