General Information on Belgian Coticule.

This natural stone has an approximate grit of 8000 (Japanese system). As it is a natural stone this changes from one stone to another. This value is purely given as information.

The Coticule is often compared to a 8000 grit whetstone, using the Japanese grit system, but it must be borne in mind that it is a natural product, and therefore no one stone is 100% identical to another. The extraction and production of the Coticule in the Belgian Ardennes dates back to the 17th century. The stone needs to be extracted meticulously and mostly without using machinery. This extraction is very time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive work that can only occur a few months per year, due to the influence of all kinds of weather conditions. The production is 100% traditional and makes every stone a unique item.

Coticule consists of 30 to 42% garnet crystals bonded together with mica. These garnets are what give the Coticule its exceptional sharpening characteristics. Use only water when sharpening , not oil. Sharpening with a Coticule: The sharpening always uses water. All that is required is to wet the Coticule surface; there is no need to immerse the stone. During sharpening, garnets are released from the Coticule surface. The more garnets are released, the more abrasive the grinding compound become.

A razor sharpened with a Coticule does not damage the skin during shaving. The garnets do not leave any tiny burrs on the blade , which is unique to Coticule.

This means that there is no chance of skin irritation. The Coticule gives a razor-sharp blade and unrivaled comfort during shaving. Ardennes-Coticule is the only producer of the famous Coticule and Belgian Blue Whetstone (BBW) as well as the double-sided whetstone: La Pyrénées.

The more garnets are released, the more abrasive the grinding compound becomes. A frequently-used method for increasing abrasiveness is to use a rubbing stone (= Bout n° 1) to produce a grinding compound with a high garnet content on the Coticule surface.

This is done by rubbing the Coticule surface of the rubbing stone over the Coticule surface of the whetstone. The milky white grinding compound does not take long to appear. For the fine honing, the grinding compound is diluted in a number of stages with a small amount of water until finally there is only water on the surface. This method, combined with the versatility of the Coticule, means that only one whetstone is needed for the entire sharpening process. Coticule is a non-porous stone and cannot become clogged. Use only water when sharpening, not oil. Oil is only used with porous stones to prevent iron particles remaining stuck in the pores. Flattening: Place a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface. Put some water on it and rub the stone flat.

Use sandpaper with grain +/- 80 to 100 micron. Working life of stone: The working life depends on the use. The more intensive the use, the faster the stone will be worn away. Generally speaking, our whetstones last 20 years in normal use. All that is required is to wet the BBW surface; there is no need to immerse the stone.

During the sharpening, garnets are released from the BBW surface. A frequently-used method for increasing abrasiveness is to use a rubbing stone to produce a grinding compound with a high garnet content on the whetstone surface. This is done by rubbing the rubbing stone over the surface of the whetstone. The bluish purple grinding compound does not take long to appear.

This method, combined with the versatility of the BBW, means that only one whetstone is needed for the entire sharpening process. BBW is a non-porous stone and cannot become clogged. French: Ancien Rasoir, Barbier Razor. Italian: Rasoio a mano libera, Rasoio da barba.
