"Look what I found"
I have had the coticule on the left for some time. When I bought it the seller said it doesn't work with slurry but with water it's an amazing finisher. Well I have tried the stone with slurry and water and not got anywhere. With lather it will refresh an edge nicely, but nothing special. With oil it finishes an edge beautifully.
The smaller stone arrived today and on a whim I thought I might use it as a slurry stone with the larger coticule... A-maz-ing: set a bevel on a vintage Sheffield in minutes diluting to a finished edge with watery slurry. I switched to oil on the bigger coticule and the razor treetopped very nicely. I won't try test shaving until March because I am self imposing using another coticule for the duration of February. Very excited to try an edge from it after that.
Nice looking stones. They both have a lot of character.
Here’s a whopper of a stone I bought from a friend recently. It will finish a razor, but works much better as a bevel setter/midrange stone and sets up an edge perfectly for a finer coticule to finish.
Nice stone David, killer size.
Very nice.

Nice rocks
Check this chunk of coticule I got 6x2x1. Incredible finisher, this one is by far my favorite.
That's a beautiful looking stone
I just found this while reorganizing some stuff at home.
Need help with ID please.
Need help with ID please.
Wowza!
Very nice stone. There’s no way to ID a vintage Coticule, but that should make a fine razor stone. Congrats
Wow, that is a beauty.
Thank you David.
I will try it in the near future.
Even after lapping the veins are pronounced which makes it unsuitable for straight razors but as a knife hone I haven't come across anything like it. It ripped through each of my kitchen knives in minutes. They have never been so sharp.
Very nice. Have you tried it on a razor? Do you think the edge will catch?
