Thread: 8x3 Yellow Coticule from Howard

Mine did too, but now that is an option you can purchase.

I didn't know that I had to ask, but I bought a 325 grit DMT plate for the purpose of flattening stones, together with the coticule, so it really didn't matter.

I didn't ask, it just came that way.

If it has become a purchase option, you probably have to ask for it these days.
I remember that my flattening stone was flattened with a DMT before I got it from Howard, but that was almost a year ago.

Yep; I bought one about a month ago. Flattening was an extra charge.

Can anyone supply contact info for Howard to buy a coticule?

Thanks!

Howard starting charging a mere $5 extra for lapping his stones recently because he said lapping the stones, especially the blue which takes more effort than lapping the yellow was getting to be too much. I don't blame him and think $5 is a small and reasonable price to pay.

Beautiful stone and a review well done. Thanks Bruno.

I also recently got a 6x2 blue/yellow combo from Howard. Couldn't be happier! I usually do 50-100 passes on the blue, then the yellow (both with slurry) and 20-50 passes on the yellow w/ just water, followed by ~50 passes on a leather strop. The edges I get whip through beard hair with zero pulling, but feel smooth on my face at the same time. Highly recommended!
