The DMT ultrafine hone (1200 mesh) is pretty much the same DMT D8E 1200, except that the former has those the honeycomb perforations on its surface, and the latter has a continuous diamond surface. Both are 1200 mesh, 9 microns though.
Is it safe to hone a razor on a surface with those perforations? Will it cause any damage to the edge? I don’t want to ruin the blade.
