I think I may just be confused here...
That works, and works well, but does not nearly remove the scratch pattern of the previous hone, so the character of your last hone will still be there. Looking under my microscope, I need at least 30 minutes of stropping on CrOx to remove all the previous scratches. The character of the shave changes as you continue to strop on CrOx. I prefer to remove the character of the previous hone.
