Ok. So I will regroup and focus on the 4K for now since I do not own a 1K. I will be using a machinists loupe to visually inspect the new bevel that I will be setting. When I have achieved an even, clean bevel I will use the arm hair method of checking sharpness and then proceed to a test shave from there. After I have set an appropriate bevel with the 4K I will repeat with the 8K.

would you all agree that this is a sound method?
