Yes totally agree with this, after being satisfied with the TNT at the 1000 level I'll do another 10 x strokes before moving up the hones. This would be the last test I'd do on the blade until I shave with the razor.
It's complicated but this seems to be working for me even at this early stage in my honing career!
