Hello!
I'm a student that has been shaving with an open blade for about a year or 2 now.
I learned only recently about the coticule and it looks like my father has been using a sharpening stone that certainly looks like one to my untrained eye. Could someone confirm that this is the case? I've attached an image below.
It looks badly damaged, a lot of pits and scratches. My dad has been using it to sharpen chisels and the like, rather than razors and knifes.
Is there anything I can do to put it back into shape? Is that even necessary?
I'm eager to try my hand at sharpening one of my least favorite blades
If I can add a third question: lacking a slurry stone, is there an alternative?
