Dubl Duck Special No. 1 5/8 hollow
This one needed a refreshing, so I figured I would try out my Belgian coticule bout, and see if I could start to grasp the feel for this stone. I've never really worked with it much, as I haven't had it for very long, but it seemed to work VERY well to refresh the edge on this Duck. I started with a thin slurry, and continued to thin it until I was using just sitting water. After a few laps on clean water, I went to the sink and finished up under running water.
Stropped with 15 on ChromOx and 15 on FeOx, followed by 25 on linen/25 on leather. Shave was PHENOMENAL! Extremely close and VERY comfortable. I am going to need to do some more work with this coticule...see what other secrets it can reveal...
