sorry
I don't know if I agree there, especially on the Shaptons, I still lap approximately every 10 razors.... using a grid, and very rarely does it ever take more than 20 seconds per stone to erase the grid.... I sorta believe that more lapping than that is a waste of very expensive Shapton stone.... Now I guess if you were more used to sharpening tools the wear pattern on the stone might be slightly more uneven than the nice light X patterns that we do for razors...JMHO
