MMMMMM, I typically don't use a pyramid scheme on a new razor. I wouldn't be afraid to overhone as all you need to do to correct it is to back hone a few passes.

My secret, and please don't let anyone else know, is to do lots of passes on 8K alone. A little pressure at first, then head towards no pressure and a very slow stroke.

Remember, same pressure, angle, and distance on both sides of the razor is critical.

Lap the 8K before you start.

Again, this is my technique, probably not for everyone.

The key is to smooth out all that 4K nonsense that is used to get the razor bevel nice (a requirement you may have passed a long time ago) and get the razor shaving perfect.

Try about 40 strokes on 8K alone with descending pressure. If you think you've overhoned just go back 4 strokes on 8k. Keep smoothing out the edge. Shave test after about 30 passes and every 10 after that. See if that makes for some improvement.

Strop lightly, the edge will get wicked smooth and sharp.
