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

My main finishing hone is the side of my hanging linen strop that I treated with chromium oxide paste

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.
