So, today is my birthday. I was waiting to see if my mom could find the coticule we had at her old house. No dice.
I would like to expand my razor selection (maybe) and I am getting near needing a hone for my razor (I think.).
Stropping on the pasted side of my strop (.5 micron diamond paste per the packaging) gets me a better edge, but it's starting to pull at hairs.
I usually follow that up with about 100 (each way) laps in the smooth side.
Is there a good source for hones at not too much cost? Also, if I go for a coticule, is it as much of a pain as I imagine to have a 2" coticule and 4" razor?
thanks, Happy shaves
