So anyway, I was messing around with a DMT C today and decided that going through all the stones was a PITA so I did this out of pure laziness. I got it passing the HHT with the DMT C and stropping. Then I went straight to my Unknown Renge stone and did a heavy slurry worked on the edge using the diluting method until only water was on the stone (just to clear things up, the jump was from the DMT to the JNAT) and the grinding noise was basically nil. The shave was AWE inspiring. Trust me I BS you fellow folks not, one of the best shaves ever BBS with one stroke XTG. Hope someone tries this just for reference.
