I hope I've posted this in the right place. Kind of new to all this, I've been using straights for close to a year and I've got a great barber hone (an old Wyeth) and it was lapped when I bought it. I've had it six months or so and it works just fine for refreshing my razors. My questions are how soon should I think about re-lapping it and what to use.
Should I use the tile/sandpaper like the video (if so, should there be a certain grit for a barber's hone) or would it be best to get a lapping stone (SRD has a kind of inexpensive norton or maybe even more expensive)?
I'm not in the position of being able to start learning how to completely hone at this time (though maybe in the future) so I'd like to keep my barber's hone going strong.
Thanks for any advice.
