    Howdy. I use a DMT D8C for everything up to 10,000 grit. The D8C has grooves milled in the surface similar to the Shapton DGLP. These help break the surface tension/suction. I had a DGLP. It was great until I wore it out...

    I lap the hones with the D8C almost every razor. Looking at things at 1250x really messes you up. But, the coarse hones do really leave a better edge when they're fresh.

    Above a 10,000 hone, I finish lap with 2000 grit silicon carbide paper on a granite surface plate. This removes the scratches from the D8C or DGLP.

    I don't refresh the fine hones as often. The issue seems to be more of refreshing the abrasive surface, rather than keeping things flat and not glazed over or clogged.

    Tim Z.
