I had to try this myself since this thread has had an increasingly motivating effect on me...

I own a coticule bout which is a small trapezoid shape, unlike the large rectangular one shown earlier, in addition to a BBW and a recently acquired barber's hone.

I have only ever touched up razors honed by others, but today tried the unicot method.

Sweet, it works! Managed to shave out of a Joseph Allen & Sons Sheffield that was as blunt as a butter knife that I won on ebay some time ago.

As I had no slurry stone for the coticule, I broke a small piece off, which worked like a charm.

Great method to which initially seemed like a myth to be able to do all one one stone - well nearly all. I finished with 5 laps on the barber's hone to pass the HHT followed by some CROX, then the canvas and leather...Im learning!

Great thread. Now I need a full size coticule, and a pay rise to acquire one
