I'm using the DGLP fot all of the Shapton Pros that I have including the 30K. Seems fine to me.

I have a Wonderedge that I had honed up to 15K. Stropped and shaved and got a good shave but a little harsh. So I tool it back to the 15 for 30 laps and then another 50 on the 30K and it was great. Smooth as silk.
