I don't recall ever having used a pasted strop right after an 8k. I have shaved straight off of an 8k and I have shaved straight off of a coticule. I liked the 8k edge better because I got a closer shave with less tugging. The coticule edge was defanitly more skin frendly. It just was not sharp enough for me. It's just a matter of personal preferance. Believe me when I say that I wish that I could get the kind of edge straight off of a coticule like everyone raves about that I would be happy with. I like the idea of using just one hone to cover all my honing needs from bevel setting to finishing. I just have not found one yet that I am satisfied with as a finisher.
