I only hope the photo will travel through the SRP attachment mangle in one piece. If not, I'll find some other way to share this.
It's a small excerpt from the booklet, that speaks about the properties of the different coticule layers.
The lines about your coticule translate as follows:
"The veined one: for razor hones, when she is good,
she's the better value of the pit; but unfortunately,
she's often separated from the schist [the blue stone]
and must be glued onto a sole, a blue; she's
often also striped, caused by vertical layers of different hardness."

Thanks very much for the information Bart. I hope that when you finish the booklet an English translation will be available. From the above I am not sure if the veins in the stone are a plus or a minus. I guess that remains to be seen.

An old barber told me to hold the razor securely but lightly enough so that is if it pulls the razor will flex in your fingers and be less likely to nick. He also told me to never force it if it does pull. Following that advice I have rarely gotten a nick.
