    Default Progressive honing

    Honing is a progressive process that progresses from coarser hones to finer hones. Stropping is the last process before shaving.

    I'd probably skip the 1.0 paste coming off the 12K. But you need to experiment. The least you need to do with the edge the better off you will be.

    8k, 12k, 0.5 paste

    For touchups use the 1.0 and 0.5. If thats not enough then back up to the 12k. If thats not enough then back up to either the 8K or 3.0

    Hope this helps,
