I think you should just hone the razor without tape using an x-pattern, the heel leading at 45 degrees and towards the end of the stroke rotate the razor slightly so that it ends up perpendicular to the hone, perhaps even the tip leading a bit.
You should do this on the 1000 grit until the razor is sharp to shave armhair without any effort, and has no microchipping on the edge, then you switch the hones to 4000 then to 8000, the same type of stroke.
