My lapping process is:
1) draw the pencil matrix
2) hold the lapping stone in my left hand, motionless over the sink
3) hold the hone in my right hand
4) place the hone flat against the lapping stone and move it in smallish circles until the pencil matrix is gone, occassionly rinsing the residue off under water.
4.1) repeat if neccessary.
needless to say my razor won't even cut arm hare :cry: what am I doing wrong?
