Number of laps depends on the razor and progression, but usually not too many laps, that's why it doesn't bother me to scrub/rinse the stone during honing - I only need to do it a few times. To be...

Not for me, I'll take a fast stone any day. I've had both ends of the spectrum and much prefer a faster coticule. The cutting speed can easily be tempered by bringing the stone surface up even...

Again guys, it's just another thing for those that are having trouble to try. If your stone is doing better with your method, then perhaps you have already found your coticule's optimum finishing...

Of course not. The point of that post was that just because slurry isn't visible doesn't mean it isn't there. I wouldn't have brought it up at all if I hadn't been asked about it in post #23 - this...

Another surefire way to tell if your stone is really giving up any slurry that you can't see is to do your normal finishing with water then let the stone dry without rinsing or scrubbing it. After...

Yes, that is so, and that is why I worded it how I did - many coticules, not all.

In my experience it can be seen in a couple ways. Foremost, with a wipe of a clean white cotton cloth yellow particles will show up - by wiping they are concentrated into a just visible yellowness...

Everyone defines such things in their own way of course (YMMV is a popular phrase for a reason), but yes, to me any stray grit that is shed from the stone during use is auto-slurry. Those stones that...

For me at least, any shedding of grit would be considered auto-slurry. I would say that all natural stones do it - the variable here is the degree or rate and volume of production of auto-slurry. For...

It's very dependent on individual coticules what will work and what won't. There's no hard and fast universal method that works with every coticule in my experience. The YouTube method shown above...

Beg pardon if this is a bit long-winded, but as it's geared to newer coticule users I wanted to make sure to fully explain in an easy to understand manner.

I often see newer coti users posting...
