There are only 2 things a yellow coticule is good for:

How often are you lapping the stone? It shouldn't need it that often even if you do raise slurry a lot. This lap-after-every-use business is fine for synthetics, but not so much for naturals.

I haven't worn one out yet, and it's not for the lack of trying.

I've lapped all of my coticules when I've gotten them, and haven't lapped any since. Originally Posted by PA23-250

Wish I had seen that barber instruction earlier. Years ago when I was using a Coticule, I dished mine out pretty bad with a nagura stone. Took a long time and a lot of sweat to lap back to flat. Sure is pretty now, even if it doesn't get much use........

I think this is common to most of us here, whether stones or razors. These 5 razors are all I need. I'm thinking of getting one more Satinedge..... Originally Posted by gary haywood

I was removing achip on my dmt1200 and it took me so long . I've just order a double sided duo sharp plate 325 and 600 the differance being it will take me a lot less strokes. Originally Posted by dantodd

I'm with Lynn and Bruno on this one. I hardly ever use Coticules, if I do, it's just to mess around. I don't restore razors, so I just maintain my own. Which need very little maintaining. You need the "Right" Coticule. No two are alike and they do take some mastering. I've come to like the Naniwa's, and for finishing I like J-Nats or Escher.
Even my Shapton gets little or no use at all....As far as setting a bevel on a Coticule, I just don't have that much time.We have assumed control !
