I've done 6 razors full progression and a couple just finishing and the results from it is amazing.
I was just browsing Maksim's page, looking at a Ozuku Asagi and a Shoubudani:p

Yes, alright. My main finishing hone is a Nakayama Asagi thingy.

Congrats to those of you finishing on an 8k. For a couple of years, when I first started honing razors, I ended on an 8k Norton. Getting a good shave off an 8k w/ or w/o a CrOx or other past says that you know how to hone a razor. I've always told people that anything over an 8k is useless unless you can get a good shave off the 8k's and it is still true. It's very tempting to move up to a finer grit before the previous hone has given it's all and over 8k (still true for the courser grits but at a lesser level). At this fine level the value earned for the effort is a shiny bevel and little effect on the edge proper.
My most used B/G Thuri(thankyou JimmyHAD) but I am now experimenting with a PHIG and a Welsh claimed 15K? My first finisher was a King 6k which I found paled by comparison to a Norton 8K I used for sometime. Then Thuri entered my life and now I can't stop buying stones.:cry:
