Does the stone build a visible slurry on its own if you are using its with water only?
Coticule love... show off your rock
- Thread starter Drybonz
- Start date
I slurried to start, and the diluted. Once rinsed I don't remember a visible slurry. But I finished under running water.

Use the stone with water only and see what happens please
Nice coticule billI haven't been around for awhile, but does anyone recognize this stone?
I find LGJ's slow and mine all finish best with lather after the water. For me: best with x strokes in the finishing stages. Go lighter and double the number of strokes you expect.
Make sure you have lapped that stone really flat.
Controversial: I don't use diamond plates, only wet n dry with mine on a glass lapping plate.
Just got this today. Beautiful stone!! Any tips how to lap the hybrid side? WEt dry paper P100 barely does anything....

It will require loose grit silicon carbide
Yep. ^
They are not easy to lap. Pretty stone by the way.

Yikes!!
That's a beauty!
Thanks for the response! Starting and finishing grit? Though I have to find who sells silicone carbite in Greece.
Honestly I have lapped an ozuku 5+ and wasn’t even close that hard.

Start with 240 SiC and end with 600 or higher.
your welcome! You will also need a flat 12x12 tile. It needs to be as flat as glass or a piece of glass at least 12x12 to lap on.
Here's another vintage stone I received as a pair.
I believe, if memory serves, which it often doesn't anymore, that SRD marketed many of these stones in boxes like this. There is a stamp, but not totally legible anymore.
The coticule side has a leathery appearance with some brown spotting. similar to my La Grosse Blanche. I've never left this one in sunlight, so I cannot confirm that.
This one, a bit softer that it's mate back a page of two, but it's a pleasure to hone on, and produces a very keen edge. I won't know about smoothness until this afternoon's shave.
150x40mm.. Again, a perfect handheld size.
A very wavy transition, which adds to it's appeal..

Neat stone. I've always liked those natural combos with wavy lines.

Since you showed off your prized La Veinette I'll show off mine. I don't show it off very often, but it's one of, if not the best coticule I've ever used. Best I can remember it was mined in 2009 from Ol Preu. You can't tell from this picture but it has some really neat blushing on the surface.
Pike Fine. Just finished lapping. Strange surface, texture isn't different u der the finger but one half looks radically different than the other. Hopefully it isn't like my obnoxious experience with a ttc branded coticule that had a surface shift in such a way.
That is one beautiful stone!
