    What I learned from Randy is to shave test after the 8k. If the razor shaves close and smooth at the 8k level it will benefit from the 12k or whatever finisher. If not the edge will need maybe a conservative pyramid ( or maybe more) . The conservative pyramid is described in the SRP Wiki honing section under 'alternate honing methods' IIRC. You'll be surprised at what a nice shave can be got from the 8k.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
