I hate to tell you this 1200 W/D paper is way to course to be close to a final edge. You might get a shave off of it but it puts shivers up my spine to think of shaving with it. :eek: 8K is generally the point when guys think they can get a shave. I finish with stones form 12K to 15K depending on the razor then I go to chromium oxide in .5µ to .25 µ then .1 µ then to the strop. You can strop on folded newspaper if you can't wait to try the razor.
There are twice as many opinions as there are members on the forum. :thinking: But I think there is something of a consensus that the general honing system for guys that want to do their own is a Norton 4/8K then to a pasted strop. There are tons of variations on this but that's the general idea.
I recommend you give SRP UK member poona a PM as he does honing in the UK. This way you will have a benchmark for sharp.
