Got a legacy razor today: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...eat-shape.html
I had to hone out a bevel-sized chip in the razor and ran from 220 grit through 8k naniwa followed with a few laps on the crox strop and then up to the Premium I.
TPT: pass
HHT: not quite, more like whittles instead of a clean cut
Treetop test: bigtime pass
Arm test: pass
Shave test: fail
I feel like I'm sooo close, but no cigar on the shave test. So the question is...what hone should I go back to? 3k 8k crox?
Without having a finishing stone, I would go back to the 8K and work with 5 stroke increments followed by 10 strokes on the chromium oxide and see if you can't get it to where you want it.

You're killing me Lynn! You mean I have to go through the pain of having to convince the SWMBO that she needs to see another entry on our credit card statement from SRD? :p I'm in, just gotta butter up the wifey.
Seriously, though, thanks for the help.
You should be able to get a good shave off an 8k, especially with chrome ox after. If you can't, a finisher won't help you.
A couple dozen ultra-light strokes on the 8k and a bit of crox on the 'ole strop and whammo...worked just fine!
