Ideal for refining and polishing edges, keep the Belgian Yellow Coticule 8x3", Select Grade in your rotation for easy straight razor maintenance.

FEATURES

• Use wet or dry or wet with a slurry 
• 8000 grit (without a slurry), 6000 grit (with a slurry)
• Slurry sold separately 
• Easy to use and suitable for beginners 
• The difference between the standard and select grade coticules lies only in their appearance. Both stone grades have identical sharpening qualities.

TO USE

• Very hard stone (harder that most artificial wet stones) but will still need lapping before first usage and from time to time.
• To lap: Use a lapping stone (i.e DMT-8C 325 coarse diamond sharpening stone or Norton Lapping Stone) or with sandpaper on a very flat surface (i.e. glass). 
• Tip: the long edges of the stone should be rounded slightly with a lapping stone or sandpaper. This way the risk of denting the blade in a normal honing motion across the stone is greatly reduced. 
  

MATERIALS
