I've already got a bunch of questions just about my first try alone: Should I have done more strokes? should I have come after the 8K instead? Should I have lapped the stone finer? Each time I try something different I'll have 10 more Questions about that I'm sure. But the biggest factor to all of this is YMMV. All in all I really have some beautiful stones that I want to find out how I can use them and how well they work for me.
