coticule.be was never de-activated .. Only the Cafeteria, the discussion forum.
It is now a "helpdesk" only, but all the information is still there.
Jamie, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and order a 3K Professional.
Sezer74 said:One more Question about Coticules, the standard coticule(cheaper one) and the non symmetrical Bout coticules(more expensive one). Are there any grit referances between them? if so what would that be? I know natural stones don't have grits but just to simplfy the difference.
thanks

I can achieve what a Naniwa Superstone 3K can in a quarter of the time with a DMT Fine or Extra fine diamond plate....

But what grit rating are they and what is the level of scratch marks left afterwards?
MichaelS said:I have the DMTs mainly for problem/damaged razors, where they can be life savers (I buy a lot of crud on eBay). Or sometimes a change of routine to relieve boredom. If I honed for a living, I would only use DMTs (with a synthetic finisher), they're so fast I'd be mad not to!

Can you still use tape on the lower grit ones? I generally tape all blades before honing but don't usually need to go down from a 1k synthetic.
