Without arguing (I know- that'll be the day) which coticule method do you prefer?

Poll: Unicot or dilucot?
- Thread starter ouch

Dilucot for me, but I recently ran into a problem razor that is giving me the fits and might have to try a unicot on it. Through a quadracot on my ex-GF sounds good too....
Dilucot all the way. But, I too have an issue with a razor, and instead of going back to the dilucot, I may throw on some layers of tape and do the unicot. But as of the moment, im 100% dilucot.
Dilucot but that's coming from a guy who's never tried Unicot. I've honed two razors successfully using the Dilucot method, so I guess I'll stick with it for the time being.

I'm pretty bummed there is no Articot method. It is the king method no?
He also forgot the apricot method.
I'm not even sure I know what this means, but I needed the laugh right now... thanks, man.
Dilucot for me, but I'm new to honing.
I'm still having trouble with the Dilucot method and haven't had the time to sit down and practice it so i usually just do a Unicot to get my razors shave ready for now.
I am both new to honing and stubborn as well so it is Dilucot for me, although I have tried the Unicot and got decent results. But I figure the only way to learn Dilucot properly is to practice it.

Sounds like there is a couple of stories here...

I refuse to answer this thread.
If we aren't allowed to insult each other, throw stones or pick on everone around us & their mother, it's not a valid coticule thread
But, if someone would start a flame-war right here, my answer would be that I use dilucot for most blades, except wedges & Swedish framebacks with a brass spine. Those are far better of with a layer of tape.
For wedges I usually set bevel with 1 layer of tape & finish with 2.

Dilucot can be done with tape. It's just the additional tape at the end that makes unicot (unless that's what you meant).
Unicot gives me better results, but I hate having to tape the razor every time I do a touch up
Unicot. It strikes me as the easiest to learn for someone new to honing.

Dilucot
Dilucot here for me, I do prefer to set the bevel on my DMT 600/1200 before moving onto the Dilucot on the coticule.
