@@subtleartsoapco Joe I’m like a kid in the candy store!😅 I have a few more that no one‘s seen yet.. If I had your number I would send you the video I made on all the ones I just picked up that I basically just made for practice editing… but everyone will see them soon enough👍🏼
@@knifesharpeningnorway thanks Glenn! My collection is a labor of love, and I have definitely worked my ass off for it!! 😅 I’m also going to admit that I’ve gone a little overboard this year with it and it’s time to pull back on the rains!! Lol
Wow! Matt really hooked you up with some interesting cotis! (I saw your LGB vid too.) My only coti was purchased because it is hard and really just a finishing stone. Of course, I can do a one-stone-hone on it (and have), but I'm normally not that patient. Great video!
@@Greg_Gallant thank you so much Greg! Can’t say enough good things about Matt! He’s been great to deal with and it’s getting to a point where I’m starting to go there almost every Sunday 😅😂 I now have a very nice variety of different coticules mainly thanks to him. Now I’m starting to dip my toes into the Jnat world, but my goodness that end of the spectrum it quite daunting as there’s so much information when it comes to Jnats. Thanks for watching my friend and I will see you on your next video as I pretty much watched them all!👍🏼
@@RobertPascale I went down the Jnat rabbit hole with knives and continued it with razors. I really enjoy them, but it is a real investment! Because of that, I tend to use them more than anything else for razors.
@ originally Sean gave me a small Jnat.. then I ended up buying another one from him a few weeks back. Now I have another one that I purchased, and I am currently waiting for along with all of my Nagura stones. When all that gets here I’ll be diving in head first!
@@nonamebear1136 Robert, I’m very lucky that Matt lives in the same state as me and beyond that he’s a super nice guy! It was quite nice of him to let me try some of these stones before I purchased them! Thanks for watching brother!
Yeah that is pretty awesome that you can deal directly with Matt. I am sure you can get more information than if you where just using the store online.
@ absolutely👍🏼 for example I just bought several stones from him and one of them being this LP and there’s not much information out there, but he sent me like three different links and said he’s going to reach out to some friends to find out more information. I bought a Jnat from Sean Stapelfeld and Matt asked me to send him pictures and he sent them to a buddy of his and he told me where it was from and several other bits of information about it that I wouldn’t have found out any other way. Can’t say enough good things about Matt! And yes, I do consider myself lucky😅 humbly
@@Sustainashave Thanks James! I appreciate the compliment! I’ve also been enjoying your videos brother! 👍🏼 I need to go see if I’ve missed any because UA-cam doesn’t always show me everyone’s videos in my feed and at times I have to go searching for them
@ James if I’m being honest, I wish we could just turn back the clocks and get rid of all this technology. Sometimes it’s nice and other times it’s nothing but a pain in the ass.lol
@@RobertPascale Yes 100% to many distractions & it's only getting worse for the gen's below us. I didn't get a mobile till I was about 20, I'm very pleased I had a long time without one.. 👍
@@lawrence1md thanks Matthew!! Good to see you, brother! I need to go check and see if I’ve missed any of your straight razor videos. The algorithm doesn’t always show me everyone’s videos in my feed. Thanks for watching bud!
@@SeanG8282 he’s about 35 minutes from me and I’ve been going to his house almost every Sunday😅 but it’s time to stop spending for now… On the other end, I’m trying to save for a house and I’ve just been waiting for the market to improve. He knows he has me hooked and every time I go to his house I’m like a kid in the candy store 😂
@@RobertPascale Man I'm jealous! I bet he's got one nice collection. I'm saving for a house as well so I understand, having Matt so close would make it very difficult for me too lol
@ Sean, his collection is outstanding! He basically showed me a closet full of gorgeous stones. That is just his personal collection and then all the stuff for the website and things he has coming and going.. If I’m being honest, my brain goes into overload every time I’m there and he starts opening drawers and taking me through his shop and there’s shelves full of Jnats and coticules and everything in between🤯 Let’s put it this way, when I leave my house to go to his, I make sure I don’t have more money in my pocket than I’m willing to spend because I will spend all of it 😅😆
@@jpo31 Thanks John! I’ve been lucky to find the full size 8 x 3 sizes for several of my stones! I do also enjoy the thinner one sometimes, especially for what I’d refer to as problem razors.. but if I can just get those rolling strokes down a bit better, it won’t really matter.. I still haven’t tried that OPT solution. That’s next on my list. You’ve never had any issues with that messing with your stones have you?
Robert just informed me about the coticule 8x3 giveaway he will be doing at 100 subscribers! Each comment gets 1 entry and 5 entries for Sean Stapelfeld in the jar. Great video Rob!
Very nice! You’re acquiring a very nice collection of Coticules!

Pretty cool that you got to try out he stone to see if it works out for you.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care.

Nice video chap, are be back for some tips when I drag my Coti out again.. 👍

Nice honing video Rob

@ awww.. yeah I just went and looked. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the next one, my friend !!
Nice video Robert! I thought I had a comment before writing. But maybe 🤔🤔🤔 don't!
@@RobertsReviews1974 😂Robert, you’re too funny!! I miss seeing your shave videos, bro! For guys like me, you should do one every once in a while…!🙏🏼 😅
