    Nobody will ever confuse the edges with those off a jnat, but it will keep your razors sharp that's for damn sure.

    I've heard that too, MJB. But right now, I want to keep it simple until I have the skills to obtain consistent results. If I do well with the Nani 12k, I will get the 5/8k and eventually the 1k so I can do a full honing. I allready have the RAD, SAD, and BAD. I'm trying to hold back the HAD.

(if I screw it up, I don't think the 12k will do serious harm, and I can send the razor/s to one of our pro's)

    That's my logic (which has been shown to be flawed in the past) anyway.
    We specialize in flawed logic.

    However, a new stone is the perfect reason to buy a new blade!

    That's the way I did it, my razors were all pro-honed, so I wanted to be able to refresh them, if that's where I wanted to stop - so be it, that was a good place to be, I could go for years like that.

    After the Nani 12k, couple of Gold Dollars and started practising until two weeks ago I did my first razor from bevel to finish, and it was a tough one to, with huge challenge to get a bevel on the toe and heel area, it shaves fine, and from here it's a continuous learning process, but I will still be refreshing my razors far more than I'll ever be going from bevel up...I think we approached it pretty much the same way.

    My new Nani 12k with holder and lapping stone arrived!!! Another perfect order from Straight Razor Designs!

    Time to see if I can lap her, and refresh a couple edges. My ATG on the neck is very excited.

    Anyone have specific lapping tips or instructions for this particular stone? I'm getting ready for work right now, but as soon as I get time, I'll do some searchs and reading before I attempt lapping and refreshing...

    Lap it in the sink under running water. With a pencil make a crossgrid so you can judge your progress.

    That's what I did, after that, as Gssixgun does, just a couple of laps every so often to keep it clean and flat.
