OK OK... sheesh! give a guy a minute!
I had a little shave-fest last night... and at the risk of firmly planting my foot in my mouth yet again, I will say that of the four razors I had ready to go, the LPB honed Edelweis was fantastic! That and the BBW honed King Cutter, were both very sharp and smooth. I won't go into what the other two shaved like.:thumbdown: Not sure what went wrong with them. One was my Dovo that i've been trying to tweak, and the other was my J. Haywood. In spite of both of them giving good HHT results, neither one shaved worth a damn.
Photos to come! ... soon... I promise!

I know Ralfson only from the forum and personal correspondence and count him as a trusted friend. That he is covered in ink, both his and that that he slings (injects, applies, creates) on others, produced the affectionate nickname. Besides, it is shorter than Ponypuddle. If you have not seen his work, search for Mr. Liam for examples. Probably didn't clear everything up, more to follow.Emmanuel said:

Here you can see a picture of "Inky", aka Dr. Ralfson, my friend.

It might explain Dennis' nickname for him.
Kind regards,
Bart

That's because I am a strange man, Emmanuel.Emmanuel said:
I am guessing the strange word to which you refer is "Ponypuddle" as in pony and pudddle. Inky's last name is Horsepool, as in Horse and pool. Word play is a passion to some, certainly not me though, and I use it to excess. I break this down in no way to condescend, Emmanuel. You just deserve to know the derivation of some of the fun.
Sincerely, Denny

Oh thats just for Sundays
Yes it is funny how we imagine people to appear, I know in real life most judge how they think we will behave based on our appearance, whilst on the forums the reverse is often the case

Was that Hosepull? I like it. You are so right about why posting into the ethernet can have its advantages. There is no way to form wrong opinions based on the book's cover.
I have to admit that Terry Thomas was one of my favorites, as are you, Mr./Esq. Horsepool. But then, you're everyone's favorite, you prick. (pun intended)

Sorry to interrupt your friendly chit-chat Brothers, but.......
I GOT MY COTICULE!!!
Lovely, lovely little stone.
La Grosse Blanche - 20X150X30
I write back more as the tests & shaves are carried out, but here's the first impressions;
PERFECT size, could not be happier, exactly what I wanted.
Beautiful stone, some weird pattern stuff is going on in the thinner end, almost looks psychedelic...
Neat slurry stone, not much smaller then the hone itself
Very good slurry release
Took a newly hand-sanded/restored frameback to shaving armhair in minutes,
faster then expected on milky slurry.
Fantidelytastic feedback with slurry, awesome :thumbup:
Nice feedback on water
The edge?
Gave a Heljestrand frameback a quick touch-up with ~40 laps on water.
Just shaved with it.
And I think I heard that Angel Choir Bart has in his signature singing keen & smooooooooooooooooooooth :w00t:
This was smooth as smooth can be. Mellow all the way, without any sacrifice in sharpness.
Just like I dreamed about.
Bart!
Yet again I tip my hat in your direction. Thank you for making this happen
My very own, tagged coticule
SLurry darkens quickly
Fits in the hand like it was molded there
One smooooooth shave!
