Yeah, honestly I'm probably an obsessive over-lapper, but I can't seem to help myself. I have honed on the hones of a couple of great hone-meisters at meets that were just filthy with grubby swarf and tape residue, so there you go-different strokes like you say.

On the other hand, I've seen guys post on here who say they lap after every set of strokes, then clean and start again on the same hone, so maybe I'm not the most obsessive one on the spectrum.
