The most efficient order would be 4k, 8k, Belgian (assuming it's a coti), paste. If by new you mean it's straight from the factory, you should assess the edge before starting, but for a new Dovo you may be able to do... well I wouldn't suggest using pressure, so maybe 80-100 circles per side followed by 15 X strokes on the 4k, then 15 X strokes on the 8k and then whatever you want to finish (10-25 on the coti depending on the size and then 10 on the paste). Can't say for sure if that will work, but it's what I would approximate based on what I have done with new Dovo's on Naniwa hones. (You can see how there is no clear translation because we are different people, the hones are different, and I can play with pressure to cut down on the numbers.)
