Nonsense.

One you become a honemeister it's like, er... you know....being superman. Those magic fingers just instinctively know when to stop on each razor and you attain perfection each time.

yes it's all written in the honers bible on page 1026 paragraph 8 line 6.

As to notes, what notes? You don't need no stinkin notes. Superman don't need no notes on how to fly does he?

Seriously, sometimes when you have a pile to do just doing one stage at a time on all of them simplifies the process. Once you have a good bevel on all of them you can then custom finish each one with your best 8K or 12K.
