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.

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.
M-- Any day I get out of bed, and the first thing out of my mouth is not a groan, that's going to be a good day --
