    In all honestly using a rubbing/slurry stone made from another barber hone works just fine. Just cut them long enough to fit across the width of the hone. The next one I make I will cut the sacrifical barber hone lengthwise. The tool to use is a slow speed metal cutting bandsaw. Worked just fine in the past.

    How many strokes would you do on these frictionite hones? just 4-6 per side?
    That's what I would try at first. Just remember this is a hone to be used when a shaving sharp razor starts to pull a little, a touch up hone. It is not meant to replace a 4000/6000 grit stone. The coarse side might be equal to an 8000 but it cuts very slow so only use it when the fine side of the hone is not developing the edge the way you want it.

    Just my humble opinion backed by actual usage of that hone a number of years ago.

    Hope this helps,
