How would yinz describe the "thickness" of the slurry that you finish on?

I certainly wanna try with my other Coticules as well

I tried different finishes on my La Grise,
for me personally I have found that finishing on plain water on the Coticule gives me the keenest, smoothest and most skin friendly edge.

The BBW on...

I finished on my LPB, using hibudgl's method because I'm often times too heavy handed, very good trick and got a very good edge, probably the smoothest Coti edge I ever gotten

Was the razor shaving before you added the tape?

If it was, adding a layer of tape will create a micro-bevel where the beauty is that you can skip a part of the honing progression without needing...

Back in the days on the Coticule forum, there were plenty of discussions about stropping on canvas after honing, the general consensus was that about 60 laps on cotton/linen will do. (of course many...

Not wanting to hijack your thread, but wanted to add to the discussion.

yesterday I tried finishing under running water on my La Grise Coticule,
it was a good edge, but it wasn't super great like...

I share the same experience.

It's only when I started using my Cotis under running water for finishing that I got my best edges ever. Just need a good stropping on linen / cotton to clean the edge...

Indeed, you should not drop back in your progression.

As your micro bevel has been set on Coti + water, you can finish directly on 1 layer of tape dry.

Let me know how it compares to you, I...

Awesome, that's great to hear!

A BBW is actually slower on slurry than a Coti on slurry, the BBW also has a higher max keenness.
There's also a popular method of using a coti on slurry and then refining on a BBW with slurry and...

I know that feeling well enough.

I often make my razor shave ready finishing on my 20K.
Then I add a layer of tape, do some strokes on the 20K, as it cuts fast enough for a secondary bevel, and...

Newly mined from a new vein/layer? Sweet.

I think we're all very interested in some pictures :D

Unicot with the use of tape for creating a micro-bevel is indeed a highly effective way to finish a razor.


I modified it a bit to suit my preference and ease of use.

If I want to know how...

yes you can
