I received the American "The Swaty Three Line Razor Hone" and the Itsapeech as well as a nice 5.25x1.25 natural combo today. (The coticule side has a crack at each end, so the usability is limited to 4.5x1.25 trapezoid. I only bought it for the BBW anyway.)

The sandpaper worked fine. No problems. I used a sheet of 100G or 220G per side of the barber hones. (Lapped twice on each sheet using pencil mark method.) I did the same for the combo too. (The combo lapped MUCH easier.) Afterward I lapped them all on 1000G. (Twice again.) The combo used what was left of the second sheet of 1000G.

I thought it would eat thru way more paper than that. I was wrong. For the occasional lapping, I'll stick with the sandpaper. But if I were lapping a bunch of stones, I'd buy the 6x2" DMT C,D,E set for $55. (I still may.)

Thank you all for the replies. =)
