    You threw in a few questions hehehe

    The Naniwa SS is NOT ready to go it requires lapping just like every other stone a DMT 325 or Atoma 400 are the two most popular plates used on here.. You can also use a flat surface and W/D sandpaper, but trust me here the DMT 325 is my most used hone out of all of them

    The use of the Prep stone is found here in a more advanced scenario

    also here with the Norton 4/8 like I used to use before I bought way to many hones

    So far I haven't found a Waterstone that I have not been able to get a shave ready edge from using that system, it is not for beginners it is for later down the road... that IMHO others might not agree..

    Just to be perfectly clear a Prep stone an be used to re-freshen the surface as designed but it does not flatten like a Lapping plate will so I do not use them that way..
