Thread: lap hone in geology lab?

Barber hones are fun to play around with. Some, like the Swaty, get a shinier, more glossy surface after lapping (as will the Frictionite, Apart, etc...). Others, like the Dubl Duck combination, will get considerably duller without their "glaze". The change in gloss/shine isn't anything to worry about. e.g. Here's a pic of a Swaty that is about 85% lapped.

I also finish hone almost all my razors on a barber hone. Some of them work really nice.
