Experiment lapping a barber hone with a c12k

[Datsots]

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.

Abuse of a PHIG (C12K) is a violation of SRP Law #BR549, be advised.

BTW- Your photo links do not seem to work.

If you feel the need to lap, with just the two stones you have, get some good 3M wet/dry sandpaper wrap it around your PHIG to protect it & lap under running water. I would not use a barber hone on my razors that had been glued back. I can't see the pictures of it, but 1/4 x 1" does not like too much to leave off. Just use the hone a little shorter.
Just my thoughts.

I use a PHIG all the time to refresh and keep flat my King stones. Works great.

If it were mine, this particular hone;
I would "EZ Off' it for 20 minutes, lightly scrub with dish soap and green scour pad. Gives you a better look at the condition of the stone. The break is far enough up the stone to stay away from. Grid & lap with 3M 600 grit under water.
This is not to be done as a rule on barber hones; each is treated/cleaned differently.
