    That sounds like a great offer.

    I find it a winning strategy to avoid scaring myself away from the mirror when shaving.

    Unfortunately it seems that my DMT is losing diamonds on the surface....It's not dead and still has most of its diamonds, but I realized how worn it's been getting when I was lapping with it today. There are small patches that grew during the lapping (under running water I might add) where the diamonds are gone. I think it would be best to retire it from barber hones as they would only hurt it now.

    So I will have to suspend this service until/if I get new equipment for rough lapping. Sorry!

    I don't know a whole lot about them, but I think they have vibratory rock polishers that are designed to abrade a stone perfectly flat. They're expensive (like 300$), but if you wanted to offer a service asking 7-20 bucks (depending on the hone) you'd get the cost back and start making some money after a while, and provide a needed service. I know I'd rather just pay someone then try to lap a Arkansas stone or Spyderco UF again... that really is a chore.

    I have Leightons famous DMT8XXC that went through some spyderco work. It still laps Nortons and other barber hones that I have picked up. It is a totally awesome lapper and maybe it is cause he tammed it down a bit I really love the surface it leaves on them.

    Default DMT on Swaty

    The reason I asked about the Swaty is because when I lapped it, I noticed a brown spot in the center of the DMT and it won't come out. It still laps other stones but I will not use it for a Swaty anymore.

    Because of the brown spot, I don't recommend lapping a Swaty on the DMT 8C.

    I'm actually going to get a DMT D8XXC sometime in the future. It's apparently a beast with lapping. So I will offer the lapping service again once I get that stone, and can lap even the hardest barber hones.
