Toyo Schoen Burg on my new #7 LPB Red Coticule Bout and Finished on my Oozuku Asagi.
These razors deserve all the praise they get. One of my best edges ever.

Yesterday was my Youth 13/16 Japanese Western 1/4 Hollow (the grind was a pleasant surprise) that I got for $20 shipped.
DMT 600 -> Les Latneuses -> Frankonian
Shave was a little below my standards and I'm taking it back to the coticule today with light slurry and progressing up again.
Here's something to try on that one (speaking from experience with it!):
Give it some time on light slurry on the hybrid side, doing dilutions and finishing on water. Then (optionally) go back to the creamy side and do some strokes on water if you like. You'll be pleasantly surprised (and may just forget about going to the Frankonian).

A couple of licks on a coti was all my 6/8 (ha!) 3/4 grind Le Grelot required.
I haven't the faintest idea why that razor is so darned good. Everything I know tells me it's too big and heavy, with too thick a grind, but it shaves like a dream. It's the only razor I would consider getting a duplicate of.
"hybrid side" = BBW part of a combo coti?
Nope, hybrid side is the marbley side of a Les Latneuses.
Thanks, I was wondering why I would want to go coti-BBW-coti
Now you can try that too for a keener edge.
