    Default Lapping?

    I have not progressed to the point where I'm using a hone. Don't even own one yet Still perfecting the strop. Can someone please explain what lapping is?
    Thanks

    It's the use of an abrasive material and a flat surface to flattening a second surface.

    Simply the process of flattening the stone
