I asked you this last time and I understood your answer then, but now I'm puzzled. You have a razor that's shaving well that you want to bring to the best state. Presumably, whatever test you use tells you it's shavable, so it only needs refining.
Why then, would you ever go back to a 4K stone and rough up the edge? It seems to me that even 15 laps on the 8K may be going in the wrong direction. If that razor grabs, you need to go finer, not coarser. If, at that point, a couple of swipes on a barber hone don't improve the edge, I would think you need an even finer stone (15K) or a .5 paste.
What am I missing?

Randy, am I doomed to mediocrity and so-so shaves if I only have the 4000/8000 and a strop?
