There is also a difference between bevel setting and restoration bevel setting...
For instance last night I did 5 razors 3 had gone through major restoration and I would still be bevel setting on a 4K.... The other 2 were just sweet as pie and tuned right up on a 4-8-16 progression....
You have to decide where the starting point is on the razor, but you still can't skip steps and IMHO
1k---8K is a huge leap.... as always YMMV, and if it is working for you, then by all means don't be throwing any monkey wrenches in the machine....
