Day 2:
So I've used the razor twice that I put the 30k microbevel on. I stropped before today's shave, and the shave was pretty much the same as yesterday's. The razor is VERY sharp. I still think I prefer the edges I get finish with a Nakayama (no micro-bevel), but I will still try this razor until the shave quality diminishes. It removes hair very easily and the shave is quite good. The difference between this edge and the edge off of my Nakayama is hardly discernable, so this method definitely produces a nice edge with the one razor I've used it on. The bonus with this method is that it's very quick. I bet you could even get away with 5 strokes on the 30k to produce the microbevel since you're only honing away a small portion of the bevel. IIRC Lynn recommends 5 laps on the 30k to start out with, so I think that would be enough on a micro-bevel. I'm just speculating, so it's totally up for debate.The razor I used is a Spike Union Cutlery btw.
So I think the real question everyone is wondering about is edge longevity. Well, that we will have to wait and find out for! Will report back.
