    Realizing that you are directing your question to Gary, I am going to interject my own experience. I had a Shapton Pro 30K and rarely used it. Found my escher or fine finishing coticule ..... as opposed to some not so fine .... to be all I needed and wanted in a shaving edge. That is why I eventually sold the 30k. Not that it isn't a great finisher, but for me it was just too much of a good thing. YMMV.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
