Yep. A new love makes life interesting to say the least. I hesitated to spend the money but now I'm glad I did. I'm not yet getting the "buttery smooth" edges but I'm getting the "Imperial Margarine Smooth" edges. Regardless, they're the best edges I've ever gotten so far. And you know what? It's not difficult. My coticule is now one of the things I'll grab in case of a fire. Life is good.
Maybe so, but have you stopped to consider how she feels about you? Treat her well and she'll be taking care of your grandchildren's razors.
Ahhhhhhh Puppy Love ain't it sweet :p:p
What no pictures?! :)
Yep, I really think the Coti is an underrated stone. So many people get caught up in J-Nats, CF's, Eschers and so on and think that the humble coticule cant be as good for some reason.
I think they're great stones, glad you like yours! :)
There's no love like the newest! I've found that every time I get something new, I feel exactly as you do now. That's what I love about this sport.
+1, I love 'em and keep 'em most of the time but after a day or a week it is on to the next. Just like with the ladies. :)Quote:

The sad part is my older coti is now getting neglected, mightbe time so post a add to the classifieds.
As for the edge I agree. It gives my razors such a sharp but smooth edge it is by far my favorite finisher that I have experienced.
I shower with mine.
I too really like the edge. I often reverse back into it with water after a Naniwa 12k or a diamond pasted paddle. Of course, if I had Bart's skill, there would be no need for anything else absent a bevel setter if desired. Given their versatility with slurry, I suspect they would command Escher prices if the one mine ever closes.
hmm...for some reason my earlier post was deleted.
I love my coti's as well and they are very versatile and leave a great edge. Each one of mine is different and it is fun to get to know the characteristics of each of them.
So if you have to stop honing because the phone rings, is that "Cotis-interuptus"?
