Got my new DMT 325 and naniwa 12k from SRD. also snagged a 3 line swaty and c12k from eBay. Lapped them tonight. Thankfully they were all relatively flat and the pencil grid method seemed to work. I know I have some nice finishers now. it will be awhile before I need to use them now, as I have about ten shave ready razors! The time will come where the blades need some touchups. In the meantime I have two practice blades to learn on. My learning progress is a direct results of this forum and the people on it. Thank you all !
