Ardennes Coticule sharpening stone grit 8000/10000 coticule selected
The Coticule Selected stone has a special size of 150×60 mm. We believe that the size of this sharpening stone is the best in terms of length and width as it offers a suitable coverage for each “sharpening hand” (so not too wide and not too narrow!) making the passage of the blade always “safe” in any situation.
It is well known that the Coticule Selected sharpening stone is an “all-rounder”. In fact, although the estimated grit is 8000/10000, the abrasive power of this stone is very respectable. It only takes a few strokes of the razor over the stone to realise how much material is removed. For this reason, it is important that the user is careful not to apply too much force to the razor when passing over the stone.
As per the manufacturer’s instructions Ardenne Coticule, the stone is already lapped and ready to use. However, each user can arrange for an initial polishing before use.
Personally, I think that this stone, when used to its best advantage, produces a very effective and sharp edge. I like to finish the finishing process under running water until the razor begins to feel a slight suction effect on the stone.
