Nagura on naniwa?
A little help guys...these have been answered before but I cant find in forums. So anyway. Should I use a Nagura stone on a Naniwa 12000 to create a slurry before I start to hone? Should I lap the nainiwa before I use?

I wouldn't use a nagura on a synthetic stone (or any hone, really) for finishing. The synthetic hone particles don't break down like a natural Japanese hone, and they'll not give you a finer edge...they'll take the edge off.
It surely doesn't hurt to lap before you use, and often helps a lot.
Welcome to SRP, by the way! Be sure to check out the Wiki!

+1 on JimR's comments.
Nagura no. Lap yes. Then just a good spritzing with water and your ready to hone.

Welcome to SRP. I agree with the previous posters. Check out the SRP Wiki here for the beginner's guide and for many tutorials on all things pertaining to straight razors including many on honing.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
