The carborundum 100 series hones cut very fast and will leave a wire edge under magnification in about ten strokes or so. Check and see for yourself, use 100X Mag and check the edge after 15 strokes.

The 103 is the most agressive of the 101,102,and 103. You will only need 3-6 strokes on shaving lather to bring an edge. If you need a ton of strokes then your bevel is messed up.

The edge left by the 103 is very shavable but needs to be smoothened with leather stropping, about 60 laps. I wouldn't even make 60 strokes on a swaty hone and those are way less aggressive than carborundum material.
