Hi - just new to honing and am not sure if I'm on the right track.

My set up:

1K Naniwa
3K Naniwa
5K Naniwa
Barber hone

I think I've set the bevel - did 40 circles both ways on 1k then 10 strokes on 1k

Then did pyramid on 3K and 5K (25 strokes on start of pyramid)

Then some strokes on barber hone (5-10)
followed by strop.

Seem to get it sharp, but not enough for hht - I think it passes thumb-nail test and not sure about thumb pad test.

Just to check - if I don't get it sharp enough, do I just keep doing more pyramids until I get it up to shave ready? (That's the impression I get from the wiki).

Should I go back to the 1K?

Thanks,
Michael.
