Need to get a hone

I was going to tell you about the nature of experiment-based, scientific estimation, but then I remembered the recent debacle at East Anglia University and decided to stay quiet.

Hey, it's just a friendly conversation about stones ... to pass the time.
 
Lynn and I had a conversation on the subject of the Naniwa and here's what he said he does for anyone whose interested in this pro's opinion:

"I always try .5 diamond spray on felt for 10 strokes as my first attempt to refresh. If that doesn't work, I use the Naniwa Super 12K for 10 strokes and then the .5 diamond. I always finish with 50 strokes on my bridle strop. The best all around lapper for the money is the DMT 325. I have honed over 3,000 razors so far on the Naniwa 12K and it's still going. It is a softer feeling stone though."
