barber hone grit
tried to touch up my razor with a couple of different hones i have and didn't have any luck. i've got a Franc Swaty Yugoslavian hone and a Winner combination hone both of which i have lapped with wet dry up to 1500 grit. After 5 or 6 passes ( tried the swaty first) i looked at the edge with a 30x loupe and notice scratches on the edge that weren't there before. the winner hone didn't improve it just added to it. should a barbers hone leave a shiny edge? or is there something else i need to do to lapp it? i was hoping to use these as my finishing hone once i start into the adventure of honing my own razors.
