Observations in order of tests.
WT: Good edge on leg hair dry shave, fair HHT not as good as Naniwa 12k
LM: Good edge on leg hair dry shave, good HHT similar to Naniwa 12k
poss CG: Better leg hair dry shave, better HHT a little better than Naniwa 12k good feedback while honing.
calcite: couldn't raise much of a slurry, no real change on the Poss CG
Not very useful as they tended to reflect an improvement as I went along.
However the WT did seem to bring the edge down with a slurry from the Nani 12K. However its apparent that any of the 1st 3 could produce a shave able edge given enough work.
Next to take a razor through the same progression on each of these stones.
