congratulations on the acquisition! now go buy a pro-honed blade off the classifieds so you have an accurate idea of what kind of a shave you're looking out for.

Lapping a stone is using some abrasive (a coarser hone like a DMT or wet/dry sandpaper laid on flat glass are two of the usual choices) to flatten a hone. A stone that is lapped has flat surfaces.
