As Requested and collaborated with Sean P. Stapelfeld (his RU-vid channel - @seanstapelfeld2192 ).
I also credit Rick, my good fried for passing this mindset and method on to me, it made my life so much easier. This is also a method I have passed on to great success. I use this with every coticule one stone hone and adjust as I need to accommodate for stone speed. I make no claim that this is “The correct method” nor is it the “The only method”. There are a few ways to skin this cat, not all coticules are created equal. That does not mean that they will not produce a great shaving edge. You don’t have to one hone stone nor do you have to finish on the same stone. But what this will give you is a method to develop an understanding of your stone.
Honing Channels I follow and enjoy.

Nice segment Eric. I was never happy with using my coticules as pure finishers after a high grit syntetic. The coti magic is in the slurry and understanding how to manage the pressure. Also honing past the sticky phase can make a big difference. Take care Eric.

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

Appreciate the feedback, I don’t hide my opinion that the whole hone until it stick method on running water has negatively effected a ton of folks opinion on Coticules. Thats something we may never set back right. It is what it is. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Great tutorial Eric! After watching this, I am definitely more comfortable attempting a one stone hone. The way you broke it down and walked us through it makes the process seem much less intimidating.

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

Thanks, and glad it will be useful. There is still some room for adjustment depending how flats it slow your stone is. This basic method is the way I start any coticule, and I can finish with HHT4 the vast majority of the time. As you adjust for your stone, further refinement is possible. Thanks for watching Joe.

Thank you for this walk through. I think I didn't spend enough time on the slurry. Back to the stones. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

No problem, appreciate the comments and following along. Take care.

@nonamebear1136 2 месяца назад

@@BigEShaves Well you put me on the right path. I was not utilizing slurry, and not spending enough time on it.

@borbelyhaz321 2 месяца назад

Hi Eric. Very nice and informative. I was actually thinking this is one of the most economical way of maintaining / honing a razor 🙂 have a good one

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

Thanks man, you can really do all you need to do with an Coti. Ad many stones as I have, most of my shaves are off a coupled coticules.

Excellent video Eric . Perfect dilucot method one stone hone . Everything you explain is perfect 👌🏼 a lot of guys dilute to fast with to much water and some let the slurry dry which takes the edge back . I've tried coticules with just water after 8k synthetic and it's never gave any where the smoothness that pure slurry to water .

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

Thanks Gary, happy you liked it! Thanks for the input.

@seanstapelfeld 2 месяца назад

Great video Eric! A great method for diving into the world of coticules, I like the comment you added, you don’t have to finish on the same stone but one thing is for sure is that coticules force you to change the way you hone from what you think to what they want! I’m stealing this one from Bamaboy… ANOTHER BANGER!

The is bud and thanks for the help.

Most excellent presentation! 👍 Coticules win the honing sound competition.

Thanks Eric, I really appreciated the video. What are the dimensions off the stone? It seems you prefer long narrow stones over shorter, wider? If you were using a concave stone that would make sense to me.. I noticed you usually use tejp, any specific rationale for that? Regards Johan

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

I have have quite a few 2-3” wide coticules, but I don’t discriminate. In this video I picked one that I thought anyone could afford. It’s a 7”x 1 5/8”, a typical vintage combo stone. I use half strokes and rolling X strokes on my coticules, as long as I have 1.5” I am comfortable. I also travel for work, so I have a collection of smaller travel stones. As far tape, I hone a lot. I used tape to manage the spine wear on some, I use it to adjust bevel angle on others. At the end of the day, my goal is managing bevel angle around 17-19 deg, I do what I must to adjust for that.

Thank you for a very helpful video. Your very clear explanation is excellent. I added more water laps (to 100) and maintained undercut the whole time. It was an absolute game changer for me.

@BigEShaves Месяц назад

Man that’s awesome. It was for me as well. I am stoked it helped, thanks for sharing.

@Martins-Shaves123 2 месяца назад

How did i miss this wonderful video ? Absolutely essential for anyone learning the coticule method 👌. You msde me laugh so hard with your ebay prices, thats a lovely Kraus ⅝ and agreed about $30 , but ebay post to uk 🇬🇧 is anything but cheap usually more than the razor's asking bid 😢. Spot on video Eric ....never seen a better one ❤.

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed it Martin! I hope it helps someone not be so intimidated. So much of the information on coticules is geared to scare folks away from them. It’s a shame, they are as about as automatic as it comes when honed correctly, with the traditional method. Keeping it simple = success with a coti. Have a good weekend bud.

@BryanBitterman 2 месяца назад

Another fantastic educational video Eric. Q. How often do you flatten your coti? And what do you use? Thanks. Keeping it classy!

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

I check regularly. As you would imagine, the ones i just finish on, rarely need it. The ones I used to do the bottom end work, I try to keep flat with slurry stone. Inevitably they will need some lapping. If I had to put a number on it. I would say about every 4-5 hones I re lap, but it is never more than a little maintenance . I try to not get behind. My go to lapping plate is an Atoma 400

@MyBlancpain 2 месяца назад

Thanks very much for this video - I've recently started getting into honing and have a La Veinette (40x125mm) coti that I am learning on. I think given the smaller size of my stone I should really up my lap counts. Do you prefer this method over the traditional unicot? Also, if you were just to refresh/touch-up the blade would you do laps under running water or just laps on water alone? Thanks again.

@BigEShaves 2 месяца назад

I don’t like running water because I can’t monitor undercut thru my process. I believe that a running water stick does not indicate a shave ready razor. I do think the smaller the stone the more laps required. Yes, I prefer Dilucot over Unicot. But that’s my preference, I am not saying either is superior. Dilucot is what I am comfortable and consistent with. Thanks for watching and commenting. I am glad this helped.
