Modine spends a lot of time working with barber hones & knows them as well as anybody. If he recommends this method & you follow his exact directions, then this should work out well.
I have lapped to this extent, but did not recondition as he did. I did not feel it was necessary, but I don't have the experience that he does. I will break out my barber hones this weekend & take the 6 or 8 that have been lapped & apply this method.
I'll give you my results next week.
