1 st. What does " TOUCH UP "MEANS?
2 nd. if you are trying to do 30-100 laps you are putting final edge to the blade not touching up.
lastly
I am getting tired to explain People to make 2-4 strokes on barber hone is easier then making 20-50 laps on pasted strop or doing 30-100 laps in any stone Including coticule,escher, charnley forest so on on on.


All above is my understanding . i could be wrong on definition of the language. i really do think touch up means quick ,time saving action .you spend 1 minutes and continue to shave etc.
By the Way i think Gary i have the finest coticule you will ever Could find.
This coticule does similar job Escher's etc
I like using coticule it does'nt matter to me if it takes more or less strokes to get me shaving i can do 30 to 100 laps in 2 to 4 or 5 minutes i have a barbers hone i will try it some time i'm sure your right but it does'nt apeal to me like i say i like the edge of coticule and i'm sticking with that hone. many people do put final edge on razor with coticule i do the whole process with my coticule it take loads of laps but it does'nt bother me i'm doing it for my self. the point is you can maintain a razor with just a coticule and most people thats all they have not every one has a barbers hone i have one and i have never got round to using it i just prefer the coticules. I will try some day just for you.
