Thanked: 25Well obviously this thread has brought out the thin skinned people but I make no apologies.
Anyway, the fact is that I asked simply what is a way to maintain stones BETWEEN lapping. I dont really care about lapping every so often sandpaper and glass, but Im getting pretty sick of it every single time I sit down with a new razor. Maybe its complete newbie ignorance or razors are completely different from every other type of metal that can be sharpened, but all I want is something that can clean up and brush off and metal particulates that might remain on the stone after dragging a piece of steel across it a couple dozen times. Obviously they dont need to be lapped all the time because if they did, a set of Norton's would only last a year or two for someone who hones alot.
I've gotten some good advice from a few people that I am probably going to follow, namely the ones who havent said that its an absolute necessity to buy a full size DMT plate just for cleaning a stone.
