Howdy all,

I've been playing around on my coticule lately and I've been trying to produce a nice smooth shaveable edge.

What I've been doing is building a lot of slurry and then doing 20 passes and then adding a fingertip of water and going again until I eventually end up with just water. After that I rinse off the stone and razor and do another 20 laps.


So far this is giving me pretty good results. Then again I'm still learning my coti but I can shave well off of it.

What I wanted to know is what if for my last step I honed with less water and used the stone until it was dry. Would anyone recommend this? I've seen some comments about using a hone dry but no real solid posts.

Also if anyone has some tricks they use on their coti I would love to hear it.
