Hi Klaus,

Yes I have noticed the uneven residue and even though I have the 8 x 3 " model I still do diagonal passes to try and even out the blade contact on the unlapped side.

The lapped side is very very smooth and I could hone away many laps without destroying the edge so I really like it and will use it for touch ups every few days.

I think with only one side lapped you have the best of both worlds.
