Once the edge was shaving arm/leg hair I went 4K, 8K, coticule with slurry (slurry was diluted after 30 laps until there was very little slurry left). After that I finished on the same coti using water and Smith's honing solution only.

Shave test with the razor went pretty good considering I'm not that experienced on the hones AND that's my first big wedge. Shaved really well on the first two passes WTG & XTG, but then I wussed out and used a different razor for the ATG. I think I'll try another shave with it again tonight and if I'm still not sure bring it back to the 8K/finishing steps.
Thank you for describing your honing process! It will help me greatly when I get around to honing this big Elliot.
