I put my phigs to one side as I just got my first coti a few weeks ago. I picked it up again today and tried it with a coticule slurry as mentioned upthread. Quite impressed. I've not had a shave yet...

I've not tried oil but my smaller Chinese stone works a treat as a touch up hone with a little lather. I might give oil a try as I don't imagine it would penetrate far into the stone, if at all. ...

I'm stropping on latigo before the shave but even with that it seems to take a few shaves to settle in.

I'll give roughing the stone up a little a shot, sounds like it will give me more control...

I took the Gong that I finished on a light slurry and wasn't too pleased with back to the stone tonight, brought up a light slurry for 20 or so laps and finished on water. I felt a marked improvement...

Thought I'd try my Chinese stone with a slurry finish as I've not tried that before.

1. Razor edge dulled on edge of stone
2. half strokes then x-strokes on a King 1k until it cuts leg hair...
