Preliminary results were as above but I had not tried honing a razor afterwards, only woodworking tools. Today I decided to touch up one of my razors on my 16k and the ride was very bumpy.... not at all the smooth sticky glide I'd gotten after lapping on the D8C. So.... back to the DMT and after a short while it was nice and smooth. Now, I did examine the edge after the bumpy ride and it didn't indicate anything had gone wrong but it just wasn't a "good" feel. After the lapping it was cutting smooth and more aggressively than before as well so the diamond plate is the way to go for cleaning.
