You can go from good, to great, to bad, really quickly at these grit levels but here is what I have found to be most consistent for me...
First use it on the right razors, not all razors like those high grits...
Second I am using a 3-2-1 on it and it seems to be better then either all honing strokes or all backhoning strokes..
I go 3 honing, 2 backhoning, 1 honing, and stop...
