If this is the case, then why is it recommended to lap my synthetic barber hone with a particular method here: How to lap a Barber hone.

I'm not trying to be difficult or argumentative, just interested in getting the best performance out of my stones possible. I admit I know so little, so I lean on the heavy lifting of other.

With that being said, I'm half contemplating lapping my Apart barber hone with the Nani 3K, then 8K, then 12K. Heck, I already took it from 180-220-400-600-1000-2000-2500 grit. I'm sticking to only lapping one side so I can compare it against the other side.

I'll probably do the same with the 2 Line swaty once the vasoline finishes sinking in.

kind regards,

Simon
