I don't quite know if I get your point. I was talking to a very experienced honer and I told him I intended to use the 4/8 pyramid since I have gotten such good results with it.
He said that I would find that if I just stayed on the 4 until I got to where I wanted to be I could go to the 8 and I would find in the end I would have the same results. Maybe so but I am a believer in if it is working why fix it.
On the Harrelson video he says that the Shapton series is designed with the grit being doubled in the progression so 4 to 8 to 16 is ideal. He doesn't use the pyramid but rather progressive honing using the same method as he uses for plane blades adapted to razors........ but that is another topic.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
