    Default Hey Greenhorns !! -- Lap that Hone

    After buying my 4k/8k slipstones, I lapped my hones with about 300 grit sandpaper -- not bad I thought and would suffice . Well I did get ok results but thought maybe I should lap again with a higher grit . So I got some 1000 grit wet/dry paper and lapped it again. Boy did it make a difference --- I immediately got that "shhhhhhlllllllllllliiikkkkk" sound I was looking for as the blade matched the hone well (getting a suction on the blade) and bit ever so slightly into the hone. The results were amazing on the blade ------ popped hairs crazy off the hone and after some paste and stropping work produced a beautiful shave. So greenhorns --- lapping is important ---choose a high grit and save you some time.
