I don't usually get excited when the mail comes but today I was like a kid waking up on Christmas morning. I had ordered a Kosher coticule from the factory in Ardennes and had expected it to take a long time. I had also ordered a coticule from Howard at The Perfect Edge and it came today as well complete with a cotigura slurry stone and a lovely fitted wooden box. Here is the swag

The Kosher is completely uniformly beige . I can't wait to lap them and hone some razors.

He also told me to never force it if it does pull. Following that advice I have rarely gotten a nick.
