IIRC Bruno sharpened an ax to shaving sharpness and with a cotucule no less.

Back on topic, since Randy advised me some time ago I always shave off of the 8k at least once before moving up the grit level. If on the test shave it isn't there yet then I go back to the 4/8. Once I get what I feel is as good a shave as I want off of the 8k I will polish on higher grit synthetics or naturals. Some razors i hit on paste. Whatever I feel like doing with that particular one but if it ain't shaving sharp @ 8k it's not good enough to move on up.
