Barber hone lapping
Has anyone tried to true up the surface of a barber hone? If so, can you relate techniques and successes?

I would take it to a decent machine shop. They could grind it flat without taking too much meat off pretty quick. I would bet they would do this for you for next to nothing.
I'm not sure if I would do it myself. A shop could do a perfect job in less than 10 minutes.

I think your best bet would be to use a DMT hone if the hone's pretty hard. Other than that, plate glass with sandpaper should do it.

The quickest method is to use a diamond hone, but that hone is expensive. The least expensive is to use sandpaper, but that takes a long time.

6000-15000 grit Wet & Dry paper on 1/4 plate glass.
