I am linking a video that shows Livi honing a new razor. To my non-expert eye it looks like he goes way beyond 3k.

So just eyeballing those stones, 1000 grit of unknown manufacture, probable synthetic yellow of unknown grit and manufacture, Belgian coticule (probably around 8K, so easily 2.5x the aforementioned 3K), and is that a translucent Ark at the end of his hone progression? That came as a legitimate surprise. And then there's the mastro Livi loom strop...1 side linen - chromium oxide pasted (This is 30k equivalent iirc?), the other side leather. Safe to say that's well beyond 3k.
