Use dry or with lather, wash off lather when done. 10 to 20 light laps will refresh the edge back to it's previous state. This is not an aggressive cutter compared to the 00 Frictionite. What to see?...

Haha ok ok! But the instructions say to lap "after a few years if too smooth".

Yes it is translucent Ks. Thanks for your good eye. I wonder if it's ok to pop the stone out of the box, I've read somewhere that it might be glued. Tough to lap in the box :D
Some good reading...

Previous owner actually scratched on the edge. "Top/Dry" and "Bottom" I think I'll lap it with wet paper and rub I n in some Vaseline as per the instructions.

Good read:deal:

Yes instruction sheet in the box! I 'll have a closer look to check the two sides, thanks!

Thanks for all the input guys, I'm thrilled to have this collection of Barber Stones. I gave a blade 6 passes with the 00 and shave soap today...felt nice. I'm reading both yes and no on lapping...

Hello I'm just getting started in this Straight Razor game and friend gave me some barber stones that belonged to an old relative.
