You hone with the 8k, strop and shave. Then if it's shave ready you can go to 12k and further.
IF after 8k you still are at pain level it's too early to go on 12k.
I usually do about a dozen laps on the Nani 12, but 40 laps of chrome is excessive. 10-15 is all you'll need, perhaps less. Experimentation is in order here. As for stropping, you'll want to increase your laps. Staright off the hones 40 material/60 leather, regular everyday stropping 20 material/60 leather.
Speaking of experimenting, try touchups with stone only vs stone+paste for comparison sake. It lets you know just what chrome ox adds or detracts from the final result.
