    Default question about new barber's hone

    Hi everyone, I have some questions about a hone that I just purchased. I have attached the link to the ebay here (in case you need pics):

    MINT VINTAGE CARBORUNDUM STRAIGHT RAZOR SHARPENING HONE - eBay (item 170616996733 end time Mar-24-11 17:12:55 PDT)

    I have been reading for a while about honing technique, and I purchased this one just to refresh the edge of my razor when it is needed. I have read that I should lap the hone and feel comfortable with the method. Other than lapping, is there anything else that you all would recommend I do before I use it for the first time? I've read stuff about vaseline, cooking in vaseline, etc etc and I don't want to start off my honing experience by screwing up my new hone (kinda like I did with my strop! haha). Thanks for any advice and help!
