That looks like the same one that brought the $1000.00 bid yesterday. I guess the buyer was restored to sanity. I have a round and a square point goldedge that I paid around $100 each for. Not quite...

Whether Bart's conclusions that the slurry on the yellow dulls while it cuts is correct of not I don't pretend to know for sure but that appears to be what is happening. I have done well diluting the...

So the Nakayama would probably make for a finer edge with slurry ? A coticule that you like is hard to beat @ $3.00. :)

Another option is the full set of Shapton GlassStones with the GDLP for a bit over 1K. For that you could get a nearly mint Dubl Duck Goldedge :roflmao

Makes perfect sense to me. :)

No Gary, I am referring to the lovely city of Newark in the garden state of New Jersey in the USA. In the North Ward to be specific where you could buy bread at Calandra's, pastry at Ferrara's and...

Twenty five or so years ago when I took a shot at straight razor shaving the old barbers that I used to talk to in Newark, NJ all used coticules. They didn't call them that they called them soap...

The spirit is willing but the wallet is weak. :cry:

Been there on that path to frustration twenty five years ago. Glen's statement is totally on the money IME not IMO. :tu

I wouldn't go that far. :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

People seem to get irritated when the Escher is brought up following the coticule. Maybe because of they tend to be more expensive and not readily available ? Whatever, IME the edge will get sharper...

Here is an old thread I posted back in November on the coticule and my experience with it up until then. What English and Gssixgun said back then is as applicable now as it was then. The Indian is...
