That is of course your decision, but it certainly is not the intention of this website to impair all other hones in favor of Coticules.
Our main mission statement is to help people that own a Coticule and want to get the best out of it, and to refine the knowledge about these hones.
It would be unfair to spend 3 years investigating Coticules, and one evening trying an Escher, and then simply state that the Escher did not provide the same level of comfort and keenness. After 3 years, my shaving habits are completely tuned in with a Coticule honed edge. And so are my sharpening habits and experience.
Instead of making an impossible comparison between both types of hones, we would better be hosting a thread with practical information on the use Thuringians. We have such a thread about Japanese Natural hones (started by JimR), and I believe many readers found priceless help in it.
I hope we can perhaps do the same for Eschers and Thuringian hones, and exceed the shortsighted discussion about which one is "best".
Kind regards,
Bart.
