School me on steel hardness. I have 7 straights, all older ones. Most are Wade & Butcher, sword and crown, keystone, and double duck. Are these considered soft or hard steel?

Unless you 12k is a 12k synthetic, leave it out of the mix. It is probably not 12k if it’s an Ebay stone, more like 6K and will just screw up your progression.
Same with the Diamond, it is notorious for a harsh edge.
Look at the edge, make sure you have honed all the way to the edge and have a fully set bevel, probably not because you have done too few laps and you never move up until you are absolutely sure the bevel is completely set…
No, none of those razors are especially hard.
