Hi gents,

As I posted earlier about my newly aquired 12k stone, I had some questions about the honing itself.

I've lapped it, and its quite smooth and flat.

I was wondering, if I was going to try and use it to mimick a barbers hone, should I give the blade a touch up every week or so of steady shaves?

I'm guessing 6-10 laps or so on a standard barbers hone, would be more like 20-30 on a 12k.

Any help is appreciated.

Ryan
