Starting to tinker with coticules, so starting to read a bit and seeing a potential rabbit hole second only to jnats.
Are there certain coticules that are more likely to be good stones for razors or is finding a good stone just a process of trying different stones until the just right one is found?
Are Les Latneuses more likely to be a good performer?
It seems like guys that find a good one love them, but many struggle to produce a good edge with a coticule.
I lucked into a small coticule buying some mystery stones, but it seems to be a fairly coarse grit, even with clean water or oil.
I do see how they can be very versatile and would like to try some.
Or, should I just wade into jnats and burn all of my money? lol.
Of course I have perfectly good synthetic stones and a wonderful set of Arks that I love. So I do not need any stones, but reading here has sent me down trails trying all kinds of stones I never knew about and this is still cheaper than golf.
