decided since i didnt have a "La Verte" coticule i needed one , and in the mail box at the same time came a Greaves razor !! it must be a sign that they need each other as much as i need them so after some work i guess i know what hone this razor will regain its edge on !!

I saw that Greaves on eBay. I notice the line on the scales! I did look at it but I passed. Great score. I already have over thirty Greaves razors...........
Nice Coticule! I have one & love it.

I'm with Richard on this. My favorite Escher (out of many I have) is my Blue/Green banded 'Barber's Gem'. If you really want to see what a nice Escher will do (IMO of course!) bevel set a razor with your 1K, and then go right to the Escher with slurry diluting along the way to finish. Smooth as silk edges!Quote:
