Good morning to you as well. That's a nice looking vintage blade.

SUNDAY

Progress
7OCY
Kai
Williams Mug SS
Semogue 1438
Alcolado Glacial AS

I don't like the 7OCY even so they are made in Russia. Too rough. Mid shave I switched to a Kai( like night and day). The Alcolado Glacial is a face freezer.

That's how I felt when a coticule was my only finisher. You may want to try an escher or thuringian or naniwa 12k or fine diamond paste or spiderco or chinese 12k or....

If you aren't doing so already, try adding a layer (or extra layer) of tape for your final strokes on the coticule. Also adding some lather helps you get a nice final edge.
