what made you buy your coti?...

[smalltank]

Just bought my very 1st coti..vintage combo 40x175...I bought my coti as I like using both sides and something about "vintage" was appealing to me..so why did you get yours?..price/size/good deal?

I got mine because everyone said I should get one. While it is a good stone and it is versatile, I do not prefer it if I'm doing lots of razors. A hone progression is much quicker for me. Fair dues - I can use the Coti but I haven't tried to master it. Other stones are just easier to get to the endpoint. I won't mention lapping film... nope... talked about it too much... won't say another word about that... no sir...

The promise of smooth edges and a cheaper price point than a Jnat is what got me.

Come on Nick was that slab you bought really your first coticule?

I bought my first because it was a $12 175x44 natural combo.

Oh, no it wasn't. I thought this was more generally speaking.

I still have my first coti. It's a La Veinette combo. I got it from Jarrod because I thought it would be pretty versatile

A $12 natural combo? Are you sure you didn't overpay

[Gamma]

Why would anyone not buy one?

[Earcutter]

The idea of a one size fits all - it's just such a clean and simple idea.

The idea that it was a natural product helped as did the history behind them. Knowing so many had used one before me... It's attractiveness rounded out the sale.


That was why I got my first one anyway. I got my second after figuring out my first and discovering how well they really work!

I think he is in cahoots with Ardennes.

[danjared]

I can't remember. It's been two and a half years since I did, though, and I don't regret it. It did help that coticule.be was just starting out.

Why do you guys always assume when someone buys a coticule I am involved!

It is a safe bet......

[UPD]

I had the opportunity to go visit Jarrod of TSS and hand pick a coticule off his shelf. We discussed various rocks at length and I ended up with a nice Dressante. Coticules are very good at what they do, they produce a very skin-friendly edge (best way I can categorize it). Honing professionally means I can write it off as a "business investment", which will indeed pay for itself after a handful of razors. It also means I can offer guys the choice between finishing their razor on a synthetic edge off waterstones or a natural edge off a coticule.

Are you a honemeister? There is a guy looking for one here if you can help.

I'm going to go with peer pressure. B&B facilitators. But I was lucky enough to swap my first one for one of my strops, from a stand-up member here. That was the gateway drug. I now have about seven or eight.

[linguist]

i bought it because that's the only razor stone i found even i didn't know it was a vintage coti. size 4*2 and paid 25 bucks. i am damn lucky.
