Let me be the first to welcome you to coticule.be!

I've just been here for a bit, and I don't own a coticule myself yet, but I think if I had everything to do over again, I would definitely have gotten a coticule as my first hone. There are a lot of options out there, but what draws me into coticules now is Bart's objective articles on different honing methods. At a lot of different sites, advice or descriptions seem to be kept as vague as possible, but Bart's articles seem to narrow down the methodology so that it's easier for a newbie to understand.
