So far everything ok. If we can succeed to make the line where both bevel faces meet each other, fine enough, we'll have a razor that shaves well. This is our goal. On a polishing stone (such as the vast mojority of Coticules when used with water) it can be impossible to reach this goal, because the hone only polishes the bevel faces. It fairly easily eats through the peaks of the scratch pattern left by a previous hone, but once it starts to reach the valleys of that scratch pattern, it slows down, incapable to remove the kind of solid steel, required for refining our bevel.

Interesting?
if Our Coticule incabable to remove the kind of solid steel ? how in the world you have made one coticule honing method?
why after couple of strokes steel comes out of the blade? and you are calling it is not capable to remove steel?
NOW. Let's lift the spine, by putting a layer of tape underneath. The razor will now no longer rest on the flat bevel, but it tips onto the very edge. Time to make a stroke. Instead of polishing the entire bevel, the hone now works only at a very tip of the bevel. All its action is concentrated on that part. Instead of just polishing, it now effectively removes steel. With each stroke a new bevel (at slightly different angle) forms. With each stroke the new bevel grows wider and the action slows down till the point the hone is just polishing again. So the advantage of adding tape is only temporary. But it works well, not only on a Coticule, but on a other finishing hones as well.
Again nonsense Bart.
why i can use 1 coticule put great edge but not another one?
You don't want to accept i said i did get great edge with one coticule without using any method . just regular honing.
What i am saying if your stone is not quality stone doesn't matter what you do will not help. Now you can say and your friends can support you and ideas it doesn't matter to me.
have fun.gl
