1. Lapping: I've seen people referring to a shiny barber's hone as needing a good lapping, since the surface has become too smooth/worn to be effective. On the other hand, I've also read people talking about lapping a barber's hone with progressively finer grits until the surface becomes shiny! So what kind of finish should the surface of a barber's hone have, ideally? (matte or shiny)

2. Use: I've read at least a few people talk about doing light touch-up work between shaves with a barber's hone. Something along the lines of only 4-8 passes before stropping and shaving. This question has two parts: how many people find such frequent light touch-up work to be beneficial, and how often can/should it be done without putting excessive wear on a blade?

Thanks!
