Still trying the new coticule. Jointed the edge and set the bevel on a Chosera 3K. From there did a diluticot on the LV.
Shave test next. HHT was good off the stone.

What did you hone today?

Torrey redone on an old hand-sawn kiita (would love help on the writing if anyone has an idea). I didn’t care for the Lyn idwal edge I made last time.
Geo wolstemholmenshiretopothemorning got the honor of the first pass on the antique coti. Came to me with a passable thuri edge, but took it back to 5 then 8k to make sure it was set up for a new finisher.

If I had a generic, undeserved pejorative for Jnats and Cotis it would be: Cotis, nice and comfy, thanks buddy, but could you be a little sharper? And Jnats, whoowie that’s a nice, close, brisk shave but could you leave the 3rd-9th layers of my epidermis alone please?
With these two stones it was exactly the opposite. Even the wife nose-nuzzle test said the coti side was closer and smoother, despite giving the Jnat cheek a second ATG pass (coti only got one). I think this one has some promise. The Jnat shave was darn nice as well, not to disparage it. But the coti was so out of character from my normal range of experience. Really a treat.
Just finished polishing the scales and blade of the Filarmónica 14 Doble Temple. Honing:
1. Establish the bevel on Norton 4k. No counting only feeling and TPT.
2. About 75 light passes on the 8k side.
3. Finished with 60 light passes on Chosera 10k
Will test shave later:

Joseph Allen & Sons Medium Size Hollow Ground Etched, Non XXL touched up on my newest Coticle.
Started with light slurry, diluted to clear water, and finished under a trickle of running water.
Very comfortable during the shave. Much to learn about my new Coticle, but so far I’m enjoying discovering it’s nuances and character.

I have been working on this Joseph Rodgers 13/16” Wedge for a few days. It had and has some serious pitting, but I finally found good steel (for now). Would love to know how old it is. I did all the grunt work on 1k & 3k, and there was a lot. Then went coticule Dilucot and finished off on Charnwood and penetrating oil, shave test tonight.
Coupla knives, few razors, one chisel. Last one out of the soup was a 5/8+ish hollow #77 'Best Quality Razor' of unknown origin.
Probably Sheffield tho.

Ralf Aust 5/8. Started on a tsushima with heavy slurry which I thinned as I honed. Moved to plain water on a rozsutec. Then a coticule which self slurried - I kept it thin. Finished with soapy water on the coticule. Good shave!
Bit of testing going on. Helje had a great ark edge from thuri to ark. Only had 1 shave so I did another session on the ark today. Probably going to give it another couple of sessions and compare it to an ark edge off 1 session. Just wondering if my edge changes much after crazy long times on the ark.
Cheers

Got one more out the way. My Boker is ready for tonight. Greenish (5x3) funny looking slate backed Coti, nice and fast on slurry. Then I finished on very light slurry to water on my La Veinette. I think I may have a Margarita or 6.
Just the one today, now readily packed and off to America on Tuesday, goodbye to Mr Joseph Roberts 1790 Stubtail it's been nice knowing you.

Second outing for the ‘Death Star’ that arrived Friday, refreshed a Rinnet with a Kouseki 10k (not pictured) with gujyo slurry, the the Death Star with hard kiita slurry. HHT is right where it should be, looking forward to tomorrow’s shave.

Bevel Set through finish on my new Coticle.
I’ve never set a bevel with a Coti before but my enthusiasm for this rock made me go for it.
A little over my skis, but the result was nice and I learned a lot.
I could probably use some more finishing laps to make it a bit sharper, but it was super comfortable and gave an easy DFS shave.

I have slowly put together this set of Mikawa Nagura and I really like it. The set I had before did not give as much noted feedback transition.
2 rounds on Botan and Tenjo, 1 round on Mejiro & Koma, finish on light misty tomo to water. Ready for tonight.
