Did usage take off the gleam or actually put scratches back into your hone, Jim?

I rub the two hard hones together (so barber hone on escher - or whatever else is scratched). Though a barber's hone can also be good for breaking in a DMT.

I would not suggest using a Naniwa,...

I take out the scratches from my DMT325 by rubbing the stone with another, already lapped, hard, nonporous stone. A barber's hone works very well.
