Y'know Robert when I got the GDLP and found out, shortly thereafter, that it was 325 grit I figured if that was good enough for a two hundred + dollar lapping plate it was good enough for me. Lapping...

FWIW, I've always lapped mine with the 325 and never noticed the scratches until you posted about it. Scratches taken into account, I prefer to wear my Eschers down honing razors. YMMV. :rofl2:

+1, I use the 325 too and I ignore the scratches. I've seen Randy post that he goes all the way up to 1k wet & dry sandpaper lapping his but I've never done so.
