Hi Eric -- Nice sharpening with the convex stone and a great example of a practical dilucot method.
Thanks, it’s nice when I have to time to dedicate to it. Not much I enjoy more than a Dilucot or a full Mikawa Nagura Progression, it’s just finding the time to get it done.
I agree. Honing feedback from a coti or Jnat is mesmerizing. I don’t do enough coti edges. I’ll correct that soon.
Nice Erik. This was how i got into using convex stones too. I just wanted to get a little more performance out of my coticules. Looking forward to your follow up shave video.
Take care.
Beautiful Bismark 😍 Eric....I'm envious of the width of that wide coticule, ( I've only attempted to make ,and then use 1 convex synthetic stone , not a success for me on my only attempt 😒).
Your so accurate that coticules vary so much , great and clever video , finishing on a known stone . Ps I can go from bevel set to finish by dilicot method on the same stone ...but not always successfully, your process is far more thought out and considered, exemplary method and video 👏🎉
I appreciate your help getting me started.
Oh, when I saw that 3” wide coti on eBay I knew I had to have it for this exact purpose. I was not disappointed, it’s perfect for a convex honing stone. Have a good weekend and have fun on your holiday.
Thank you for this video on the Coticule. I enjoyed it.
I do enjoy a good Dilucot. Thanks for watching and commenting. Looking forward to your next one.
@@BigEShaves I’m a big fan of Dr. Matt’s videos on the Coticules. How does the role of stiction play on convex Coticules?
@@longhaultanker I find it can be tricky. Your honing without tape and also convexing the spine a little. You feel a little more resistance on your feedback. At the end process you will feel some sticking, more so if you’re using running water. But it will be hard to blend Dr Matt’s method utilizing a convex honing method. I am sure you can develop something that works. I just have not put any testing into it. I am not willing to convex all my stones so when I go convex. I make sure I have a good bevel on a flat 1, 2 or 3k, then go to a convex coticule the remainder of the way. I will go back flat at the end, just to polish the Apex. Arks work great for that last step.
Key pickup for me, “continually chase less pressure”.
No running water, Hmmm 🤔, I’m gonna try that.
🤔 100 laps 💡💡💡🙂
The allure of the coticule; non loading, easy shaping, fast cutting.
Nice work.
Sweet Bismark.
Minimal pressure with maximum violent undercut, those or my main keys for finishing on any coti. They will not all look the same, but you will be able to tell when you have went as far as you can. But that 100 laps is to make sure I do not stop prematurely. And I am not making a claim that running water is wrong. I do use it when I know both stone and razor. But I have been more successful by just rinsing razor and stone every 10 laps or so when I am at my final stage. That way I can utilize all my keys/indicators. Running water such a common recommendation, but I have noticed that as the main common denominator with folks struggling with coticules. I feel I learned more about my stone and about honing on a coticule when I quit using running water. Thanks for watching Bill, looking forward to your next one.
I haven’t ventured into convex honing yet. It does sound interesting. I see many people achieving great edges.
It works exceptionally well for new thinly ground razors. IMO, there is still plenty room for flat honing. I am not sure you see the same benefits from thickly ground razors and wedges, both of which I also enjoy. As I have said before, it’s just an other tool in my box of tricks.
Hi Eric. Nice. Counting on the shave review. Have a nice weekend
I will try to get that one done next. I have had a rough week or so, and have quite a bit of content to load. I just need to make the time.
The Bismarck pearl is on the wishlist.. maybe I will get it as a birthday present this year..
It’s an underrated razor. Great grind and an easy hone. I enjoy mine, it’s a comfortable shaver
@@BigEShaves that's what I hope for 😃
Wow ok so when I notice that the corners are slightly sloped downwards means that the actual stone is at that same degree of curvature? Oh ok I can see it appears the whole stone is convex. I didn’t know if it was just a cool name or truly curved convexly? Thank you I didn’t know this was a thing I always used flat stones i guess.
The whole stone is convexed. This method is used to thin behind the apex.
