    Some Nice Tips on Finishing on a Coticule...I Can Only Talk of My Own Coticule..I Find it as Easy to Use as a Synthetic..But..Thats Fine for Me to Say Mind..I Knew How to Hone Razors Well before I Used a Coticule..A Potential Issue Worth a Mention..Not All Coticules are Suitable for Finishing SRs..:)

    Sheffield round:

    W&B finished on SG20k versus a Wosty finished on the Shapton Glass 16k. Both edges were very nice but a clear win the Shapton glass, giving a smoother and sharper edge.

    The Shapton is in the lead 3-2-1
