Today’s razor is Puma 89 #1 in my collection. It has an Ozuku Jnat edge. Yesterday’s Puma 89 (#2) had a coticule edge. I can tell the difference in texture between the two natural finishes. Both are extremely comfortable and both produced excellent shaves. The Jnat edge has a slightly softer feel; one that hides the apex a little. The coticule edge is also soft, but provides more feedback on the apex. I am certain that the coticule edge, though pushed as far as the stone would allow, is slightly less keen than the Jnat edge. Adapting one’s shaving technique can easily handle this small difference.
You might be thinking Cerberus and Fú Dào? Yep. They complement each other IMO.
