I am looking for a natural bevel setter will this work? If so what grit is it? Is it it's own slurry?

GS 30k, but I'm sure I'd be happy with the edge of the 16k, even the 8.
My TM linen strop with Dovo white paste is the real finisher.

Escher is great but nakayamy kita is very great
spyderco ultra-fine. have chromium oxide pasted paddle strop but I've been evaluating myself just off the stones for a while.
After the 8k, I have a PHIG I use with water that is the large hard one, so really 10-13k somewhere in that range, I (emphasize 'I') estimate it anyway. Then I have several very hard barber hones that are in that same range that I use dry. Then a lap on a .5 diamond felt paddle strop, then a .25 CrOx balsa paddle, the amount of laps on each varies according to what I see with a loupe. Then I strop at least 75 but as many as 100 laps on the Chestnut 'big daddy', then I finish on my 2" bridle leather for about 20-40 laps.
So far this hasn't failed me yet. Shines up the edge pretty darn smooth.

nakayama with mud and then with water. then on the strop 140x. otherwise it's too sharp
Shapton 16k (I thinK), I have no idea what I'm doing, really...
Final Edge:
Norton 8K
Naniwa 12K
Dry newspaper (WSJ) ;) on Naniwa stropping
Touch-up between honing:
CrO on balsa stropping OR dry newspaper on Naniwa stropping
3" Leather stropping
