DMT1200 to DMT EE to pasted strop=nice
Just had a nice shave. Honed up simply on a DMT 1200 to set the bevel, refined it on the DMT8EE, then finished it off on a hanging canvas strop treated with 1.0um diamond paste with some spritzes of 0.5um diamond spray.
HHT beautifully, and the shave was smooth, close, and comfortable.
Two hones and a pasted strop is about as simple as it can get.

You're going the wrong way. The goal is to use as many as possible!
But I like your plan cuz I hate waterstone lapping!!!

This is pretty much the system I'm using with great results. I don't have the diamond pastes, but I use a barber hone, and follow with the Chrom Ox.

here's what the edge looks like. The pasted hanging strop polishes up just the very cutting edge of the razor, similar to a double bevel.
