Welcome to SRP. There will, no doubt, be more than one answer. I do believe you can accomplish your goal with a Naniwa 12k provided you have the skills to strop well. I do not know if you can purchase them lapped. I am sure that there are many members here who would be glad to lap your Naniwa stone if you just paid postage both ways. Having Lynn hone your razor is certainly a good decision. Personally I can keep all of my razors touched up when they require it on one of my Japanese natural, Naniwa 12k, or couticle stones followed by strops. Happy New Year to you as well.

A+
Another consideration would be a Chromium Oxide pasted balsa wood paddle strop. They are inexpensive and work really well for touch-ups."If You Knew Half of What I Forgot You Would Be An Idiot" - by DoughBoy68

If all you want to do is maintain the sharpness of your razor, get a barber's hone.
I don't believe they need to be lapped, are cheap and are probably all you will need--if you plan to send your razor to Lynn for honing.
DoughBoy's suggestion is also a very good one too.Last edited by jhenry; 01-02-2012 at 11:03 PM.

The Naniwa SS 12K is a fine choice. Lapping is a cinch because all you would need is a flat surface and some 600 or higher grit sandpaper.

Thanked: 522Definitely Naniwa 12k SS. Just using it for an occasional touch-up, it should last you around 500 years or so.

One more option is a 1/4" thick piece of glass 12"x12", cost me $6 with smoothed and beveled edges from the local glass supplier. Glass is very flat, inexpensive and works great for flat sanding, lapping hones, sharpening str8 razors with lapping film, etc., a good investment IMHO.

Felt strop with .5 diamond spray. Doesn't need lapping & possibly how the razor was finished anyway.
