I had an edge finished on FeOx, real mirror finish which tree tops hair without barely making a sound. But is indeed harsh, especially against the grain. About 10 laps on water with the coticule left the edge unbelivably smooth. Im sold already, even if im not good enough to use the coticule to its fullest potential, i still have a way to get a real nice smooth edge^^
Coticule love... show off your rock

I think it is the shape of the abrasive in the coticule that plays into it a lot.
It sure is the shape of the garnets that polish the edge that’s what makes the coticule so unique
Welcome to the dark Side Gary. Lol.
Pick up this huge vintage 8x2
That’s ugly!

Ugly in a beautiful way. Good looking stone
It literally is ugly too look at, but the edge is a beauty!!!
My only coticule, I actually really enjoy honing on this. I don’t see myself ever getting anything bigger because coticule edges aren’t sharp enough for my taste. But I do like shaving with them occasionally for the smoothness.
I have two coticules now.
First one was kindly sent to me by @Seveneighth and the other I got from Ebay.
The one on the right is the one from Ebay, it's a vintage stone that came in a wooden box. Seems to be well stuck in there, not coming out anytime soon without drastic surgery.
Bit of a strange wavy pattern on that vintage stone.
Both give great edges.
I'm just learning to use these wonderfull stones and trying very hard not to fall down yet another rabbit hole.

I think you may already be quite deep down that particular hole and if you start reading this thread you are surely doomed. It is most corrupting.
that is just jaw dropping
Just rough lapped this. It was in horrid shape. Still need to clean up the bits that can get snagged. Beige, with pronounced blue staining/ripples. Neither side is hard, slurry is super pasty off both, like super super pasty. Stones both feel very dry.
Made two nice vintage slurry stones.
What a beautiful stone!
Told you. They’re like rabbits
