Thread: coticule connundrum

Well, live and learn. So I have 4 TI Le Grelots (1/4 and 1/2 grounds), a Wacker 1/4 ground, a Henckel hollow, an older wade and butcher. Given these razors, any recommendations on a good finishing stone for use after my nortons?

I like a sharp blade, but not crazy sharp.

I prefer a close shave with a little irritation to the other way around.

I've bought a couple of the razors finished on Jnats and they were awesome, but that's a whole other ball of wax that I'm not sure I want to wade into.

And I don't want to spend weeks/months trying to figure it out. I love straight razor shaving, but don't have time to discover the finer points of a bunch of stones to determine which one is perfect.

And it doesn't have to be a coticule...
