Good news - I won a coticule off ebay - vintage natural 181x41x18mm.
Bad news - I appear to be dribbling all the time.
Good news - from the coticule, not my mouth
Process starts off well - I create a milky slurry, but by the time I have made 20-30 half strokes I seem to have pushed all the slurry off the side & it is dribbling over my fingers that are supporting the stone.
Not getting a decent edge off it yet - unsurprising - newbie honer with new stone
Is this normal?
How do I retain the slurry a bit longer?
Should I even worry about it ?
