Nice LL! Very cool looking bout!
Coticule love... show off your rock

Nothing at all wrong with a good coti edge. I have just been experimenting lately.
I use my hybrids from start to finish. Didn't really care for on of the coticule sides on a LL bout I had. 2 of the three I have now are very nice though. Haven't used the other one yet. The hybrids are just so fast and leave a crazy polish that it's hard to want to use the coticule side.
Alright so who scored what from TSS? Some of us have to work.
What'd they add, all it says is new for me are a handful of square cuts, nothing looked particularly special?
There was a crazy looking size 10 bout...visually, one of the coolest stones I've ever seen. And a combo LV.
Ah. Thought there was more for some reason. Guess no one has any pics of the bout.
I took a screen shot but its gone now. Must have deleted it on accident. Not sure what vein...LD maybe? It was striped with a lot of pink in it.
It's harder than I thought. Insanely hard.

I didn't so much lap this thing just now as I did just sort of top it off and fill in a seam on the side a bit with resin just to seal it, but it is brutally hard and doesn't seem to want to give up much even being ground on wet dry. It did manage to yield when I fed it to a piece of 1500 that was loaded with the dust from a pierre la lune. IDK what is in a lune, but the dust from that is aggressive enough to make this thing give up material. It managed to score a la verte slurry stone that is insanely hard in its own right when I was using it to smooth areas off. I this may be nearly the same material as that coti on the paddle I have.
This is the hardest coti I have. It is downright glassy.
This is maybe just as hard, which is awesome, as I love that paddle coti, but the form factor renders it inconvenient at times. The one above really shines with a softer slurry stone's slurry on top of it. In that configuration with a touch of pressure it cuts fast and super fine. I am hoping to get similar results. Going to test this thing later. I'll probably test the bbw side first. Check out the awesome effect of it in the video.

Nice collection Matt!

And def - cool stonage!

Purchased this lot of razors and honing stones from the estate of an old french barber.
The stones looked that at least one should have been a coti, the other maybe the view on the blue backside of a coti or a thuringian.
The whole lot was sold for 45 plus shipping.
The package arrived today. The razors need some work to do and not all of them will be useable.
The hones turned out to be both absolut beautiful, natural combo coticules, 6'' and 7'' long.

Nice stones Peter!
....I really love these ancient cotis from old barbers. You couldn't go wrong with them, most are of excellent quality!
