Can you recommend what grits sandpaper I need to buy to lapp the hone?

I've been practicing with a ruler on the hone, trying to build a delicate and consistent muscle memory with motions in the air.
we usually use 325 then move forward max it 1k . i never went behind 1k.
Very rare you may need to go more if your finishing stone is escher or fine Japanese stone.
slurry stone you have is small chinese stone you should be fine.
remember your stone is very slow cutting stone. will take good amount of strokes to get something out of it.
