    Mine just came today! Decent for the money and should work fine. I did the initial soaking and lapping as well. You will need to lap it for sure because even the 8k stone side is a bit rough to the touch. But after lapping it was as slick as glass! Good luck!

    Gillette fatboy in great condition with case and instructions. My rad seems to have spread to de's and so far have only shaved with a de 4 times. Guess they will need to go into rotation.

    I would lap a stone whether new or used. New ones don't even come lapped.

    I would toss the Norton lapping stone aside and get a DMT or something similar. Its just so much more convenient and it will pay for itself in the end when you don't have to keep buying sandpaper. Don't need to keep flattening it like you would with the Norton lapping stone.
