Thread: Experiment lapping a barber hone with a c12k

I decide to try an experiment in killing two birds with one stone. The backside of my c12k was in need of lapping to remove some scratches from a previous lapping experiment. Also a thrift store barber hone that has a badly repaired break.
The barber hone apparently was dropped and a 1/4" x 1 1/2" piece broke off and was miss aligned when it was glued back together.
The two hones lapped each other rather well until I tried to ease the edges of the barber hone. The c12k is definitely softer as the edges of the barber hone left scratches in the c12k. Unfortunately the leather strop loosened from the felt while I was lapping the hone. As I had just finished honing my only razor I have no idea how well it will work.
Close up of label.

About half way through lapping.

I stopped hear to keep the apparently manufactured in depression.

I tried to restore some of the use caused glassing.

Your thoughts please.
