I have a Robeson Suredge, and it is damn hard. I think a few test passes (after you lap it) on that hone, would be OK to do.

do you have a microscope to check it? If you do, hone 5 passes or so on one side only and compare both sides. If it is a little coarse, that few passes won't wreck an edge, and it should give you a good idea where it stands, as far as grit.

That being said, if that Robeson is shaving perfect for you, I would test it on another razor just to be safe. But I am super paranoid.
