    Be careful with the lapping, sometimes old barber hones can get crumbly and soft after lapping.

    If your DMT plugs up just clean it with comet or soft scrub and a soft nylon or plastic brush and rinse well. It does miracles to what looks like a dead DMT.

    It was far from crumbly, just sticky and clay like, much softer then the other barber hone I have had to joy to lap. My other one feels more like ceramic then what this one is made of. That probably has something to do with it.

    That's good to hear!

    I had one that the binding had broken down and as soon as I got through the top layer when lapping, it turned to mud and was basically useless. It would heavily self slurry when trying to hone with it

    DO NOT LAPP those stoes as they get useless . Use them as they are . The abrasive is in the surface layer . It is writen on the bottom - do not damage or let the surface of the stone be damaged .

    The most I ever do now is bevel the edges if needed.

    Too late, besides the surface was beat up. I shaved off the freshly lapped surface. It was do-able and wasn't even that bad.

    If the abrasive is only in the surface layer what is leaving my edge highly polished and metal swarf on the stone?

    I would have to guess abrasives.

    I know Russian, but I use an interpreter and translation is not accurate, can be wrong and confusing. I advise to start a stone wash using detergent.
