The last time i shaved off a 1k was a couple years ago. I did not have a Chosera and really just put in the effort to make the razor shave. That is what I achieved. A razor that shaved and not well at all.
This time around I bought an ugly little chipped razor off eBay and used the 1k like it was the only stone I had. I went from slurry to water I went from pressure to less than blade weight.
The result is a razor that can shave quite smoothly off the Chosera and my normal stropping count linen and leather. My future honing efforts will get the "one and only stone" approach at bevel set from now on.
