this makes me happy Leon! It’s why we do this. I learned something from Gary in his comment on this video today. thanks for the positive vibes - bit down, Gigi our jack russell is in hospital, dont know whats wrong with. safe travels and best wishes
@@dappershaves Best wishes to your Jack Russell. We have 3 dogs: 2 Chihuahua and 1 Jack Russell. They are a very special bread. (Did I mention the 2 cats?)
Oil vs water. I have a collection of vintage of natural stones. I degrease every vintage stone I get in. The impregnated oil is, IMHO probably an indication of what was in vogue at the time. I use water exclusively often with a very dilute soap soloution. Great honing vid 👌🏼
thanks bud. like you I only use water or soapy water and agree with your observations. Where are you from? I can recall seeing this channel handle before.
thank you Michael. I only use straight so bound to benefit from all the mistakes I made over the years, now manifested as experience. Practise makes improvements. best wishes Jacques
@@michaelmclelland8440 yes you have done great. That said Im sure you will move to antique straights eventually as your interest in honing/razors suggest your doing some homework 🫡
That a nice coticule LGB very nice renowned for very mellow edge . Nice honing session 😊I tend to find the oils on your palm stropping can prevent hht . Great video .
i have both black and translucent arks from Dan, also soft and washita. there is no real differences between black and translucent edges, at lest for me. thank you for sub, best wishes Jacques
thank you for the kind words. the stone slurry dries my hands out severely with continuous use, so the gloves prevent that. best wishes and thanks for watching
Not 4 minutes into the video and already learned something new I can use. Thank you, Jacques.

Some coticules are GREAT finishers!
yes they can produce excellent and smooth edges.
A huge Belgian coticule, added to my Arkansas stones, changed my sharpening habits immeasurably. Nice sharpening
yes they are incredible stones oozing smoothness in buckets. coti and ark finishes are incredible! blessed weekend sir
Awesome Video, Jacques!
Have a great weekend 👍
happy you enjoyed the content Robert. you are progressing nicely on your journey. best wishes jacques

@@michaelmclelland8440 yes you have done great. That said Im sure you will move to antique straights eventually as your interest in honing/razors suggest your doing some homework 🫡
@@dappershaves yes that’s true I will be going to straight razors before long men that can shave with straight razors are real shavers

I did not know about oils and hht, much appreciated!!!
Nice collection Japanese razors, I also got a derby aizu. Great razor indeed.
I still need to tackle Derby, thank you for stopping by. best wishes jacques
Same to you and your family Jacques 🤝
Good stones are not cheap either! Happy New Year's Jacques!🍻🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺
good stone can be expensive, Ive been lucky to pickup many at low prices year ago.
Hello. I don't understand why you don't use a translucent ark instead of a black one. What Arkansas brand did you use? Dan maybe?

Great video, Jacques. Is the point of the gloves to prevent contamination of the stone (e.g., hair falling off your hand)?
