I decided to try a coticule and experiment with another way of honening a razor. I saw this size 8 bout that came with a slurry stone from Jarred at the superior shave for 39.99 and figured why not give it a shot and see if I can do it. Well I have received my stone today and gave it a shot with a Torrey 992 that I had. I followed everyone instructions that has posted on the subject and successfully honed my first razor other then using film. What surprised me was that when using film there is a definite polish at the edge of the blade. Meanwhile using a coticule I guess is a more subtitle polish because even tho it didn’t look perfectly polished like the film it was quite sharp. I decided to give a quick hit on my face in some spots and was pleasantly surprised how buttery smooth it was and was quite effective. I know I will need some practice and some tips as to how to use my stone properly, but if I can master this small one maybe a larger one may be in my future. For now I’m sticking with this guy and hopefully get some use out of it.
