A friend of mine sharpens razors and removes wire edges with felt pads, but he's a goldsmith as a profession and worked with such tools over 20 years.
I wouldn't try it unless with some crap razor to practice only.

if you want to speed the c12k up ues it with a slury then just water it will cut the time in half it works for me.
The trick is not to get the wire edge. Working it off on felt, or a pasted strop will still dull the blade. You have a rounded/jaged edge where the wire edge was IMHO. So I go with fewer passes on the higher grits to avoid the edge. If a wire does form, then I want it honed off a couple stones prior to finish. That gives the stone time to polish off any jaged edge that was left by the wire edge. For the price, I think you would be hard pressed to beat that 12K stone. Follow that up with a few passes on chrome ox to final polish and you end up with an edge that is mirror polished.
