    +1. Great for lapping and knife sharpening too. They're fairly cheap as well, so a good value overall.

    Well I already own a DMT 8" coarse but its the style with the un-perforated end zone area... Probably not ideal. I only expect to need to do upkeep on a yet to be acquired stones...

    I'd say get one of these for each hone
    DMT DIA-FLAT Lapping Plate - Amazon.com
    Just to be on the safe side...
    I also advice to always wear a helmet when walking on pavement!

    No, seriously, just clean it of.
    Some stones can be quite sticky and leave a residue on the plate,
    I get it off with a plastic scraper and some detergent.

    I hope your using a face shield, gloves, and rain gear when you do that.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I use a DMT 325 but am still new at learning all the skills that go along with straight razor shaving. Stick with it, it only gets better.
