Thread: Soaked Naniwa too long. Any recovery?

I am going to be the dissenting voice in the wilderness

I have never left mine for 12 hours, but 6 easily, I doubt you did any harm, let me give you some advice, the SS hones will swell and come out of flat just from wetting them and drying them...

I have never Grid lapped mine since the very first time, as soon as I learned that you could chase flatness with them right down the drain
Just do a few figure 8's before each razor with your lapping plate and start honing..

Like Jimmy and Marty already mentioned "Flatness is highly exaggerated" it is really more about SMOOTH rather then dead even flat..


Don't sweat it, lap them and hone on
