Belgian Razor Hones
I’m very pleased to say that we are now stocking the World-
Important note: these stones are bonded to a layer of black schist in order to add
strength and durability. Only the ‘yellow’ side is to be used for razor honing -

Each stone is supplied with a ‘slurry stone’, which is used to start off the all-

‘Bout’ stones can vary in shape a great deal but, as has been said, all stones in
this product category are specially selected for use as razor hones. Too, colour
can vary from a quite noticeable yellow to cream and some even have pink or greenish
casts to them. All are equally able to produce the finish required for a straight
razor, however, and all are ‘selected’ class, meaning far less ‘inclusions’ and a
much more regular-

Each ‘bout’ is supplied in a quality beechwood box and has a hard foam liner to protect both coticule and slurry stone. These liners are cut out to correspond exactly to the shape of the stones they contain, thus reducing the risk of damage and chipping when moved around. As can be seen from the photo, stones do differ in overall shape but all are genuine yellow coticule and perfect for restoring your razors’ edge.

In use, the Belgian coticule is hard to beat. For those new to maintenance honing
it gives plenty of ‘feedback’ as to how the edge is shaping up, whilst the experienced
user will appreciate the speed at which the whetstone cuts. With approx. 40% garnet

What is a ‘BBW’?
A Belgian Blue Waterstone is a hone with approx. 30% garnet content, as opposed to
the coticule’s 40%. Like the Coticule above, it works by releasing microscopic garnets

This stone, because it is non-
This combination of speed and fine finish is unique. I find it a great hone to use
and a very fine edge can be obtained by using progressively lighter pressure on the
stroke. It has a distinctively different ‘feel’ and does cut rather more slowly
than the yellow Coticule but gives an equally good finish and is an ideal stone for
newcomers, as the slower cutting cuts the risk of over-
