Going back a while ago i had problems with my TI achieving smoothness of my coticule. The only way i could get a smooth shave was by finishing with issards pate rasoir, which trans formed my Ti.I tryed several times with coti no joy.
Yesterday i rehoned my TI. I used my fast cutting coti nu 3 to set bevel. I then refined and polished on my coti 21 (dilucot). I have to say i have douted the sharpness of the coticule in the past. I found paste has improved the edge.I also no it can and has been the case where i have achieved with out paste.With lots of practice i have been achieving some great edges. The differance being keeping my slurry at the right milky ness, not letting, slurry thicken which will decrease keeness. The Ti i shaved with and the differance was unreal. The razor felt so much softer on my skin. The shave was so crisp i could not believe the differance. Now i no why they say the coticule can produce a magical edge.We have all experianced the smoothness and i'm sure some of us hav'nt. It realy is down to practice, once you get there all your douts we be answerd in the shave. Theres no dout i could survive with out paste. Would i have said that three months ago , NO.
