Ok let me try it.
touch up stone is person uses almost every shave. you get razor honed and you shave with it for a 4 months then it gets dull what you do before shave you pick up your barber hone and make 2-4 strokes on touch up hone and your blades edge restores you shave fine and so on.
final polishing hone you use only when you have start to hone razor and at the end of honing you use for final polish the edge and you done. you could make 50 laps some does 150 laps etc not important but this is the it is function.

Now lets say you have paid 300 and get nakayama.
your razor after using 4 months is dull and you like to touch up. Can you use Your nakayama and bring that edge back? Of course you can. will take you some laps don't know exact count at least 20 then razor ready.
this is all.
hope i was clear. thank you
