Shaptons Glass Diamond Lapping Plate is the perfect solution for keeping your sharpening stones flat.
Now, why is that necessary, you may ask?
When honing your tools on a stone, you will never use 100% of the surface. This results in shallower areas on the stones, which means it won’t be flat anymore.
These shallow spots can get deeper over time. As a result, you will hone some parts of your tools more than others, which will abrade some parts of your tools more than others. The razor will get uneven over time, like the stone, and it will be close to impossible to get it sharp.
That is why a lapping stone that is perfectly flat is absolutely essential when honing with the aim to get a perfect, sharp razor.
