Well at least once they do ship it does move fast though. Mine made it the following Monday, I was very impressed. The one that was sent to me was really good and flat so I was able to get right to...

Well Marshall the two oxs may be cheating a bit but I took that tip from glens video. But under the loupe it didn't do much difference on the polish of the edge. And the slurry bout I use was a coti...

When I used the stone last night I did feel what you are saying on it grabbing, it is hard to notice though. Since the feel is so slightly different.

After reading up on how to use a coticule properly and watching some videos from Lynn and Glen, I reset the bevel and then moved on to the norton 4K Then moved on to the 8k. After that I went to the...

I plan on giving it another go this evening, so I'll see how it feels on the stone and see if I notice the difference.

The edges on the slurry stone are rounded already. Good to see that this is also inspiring others too

Well the razor slid across the stone really easily and effortlessly. It never did start to grab at all. Now the slurry stone was grabbing and trying to chatter along the stone. I just need to do some...

The coticule arrived yesterday, so like any kid with a new toy I had to play with it. I decided to try it out on my tatricer 5/8, it already had a good bevel on it and cut hairs along the full edge....

It really lets you see a lot more magnified that far. Helps give a lot more info to learne from. I only can go to 150x might look into some stronger magnification. Guessing that should help speed up...

On my other stones I've only used sandpaper since at the time I didn't have a diamond plate, and that info is a good reason not to use one on the coti either. Generally I used 600 grit sandpaper...

Thank you guys for all the input and knowledge that you have shared with me it was invaluable on helping me make my decision, and greatly appreciated!

I decided to order one from Ardennes, a 150x40 mm. i did put that I was going to use it to finish straight razors, so hopefully they ship a stone that doesn't have as muck of a learning curve to it....

Honefix sounds like a good idea, but man that would take some serious cash to get that going. I'll check out the superior shave to see what they have to offer. But what I would really like is to have...

I was planning on going with the rectangles instead of the bouts, because that's what I'm used to already. Plus through Ardennes they give a free slurry stone. I was kinda leary of the 8x3 that's in...

I did go to Ardennes website earlier today and seen the 6x2 and thought that would be the size that I would go with. For this purchase I planned on staying off eBay due to you never know what you...

I was wondering why that was asked. That may make tha difference.

I was considering buying a coti and am not sure about the grades select and standard. is there a difference between quality of a new one from Ardennes coticule or a vintage one as far as the edge it...
