I start with a DMT 1200. My TPT is calibrated to a Norton 1K, however, so I always follow the DMT with the Norton. Good TPT, shaving arm hair, I got my bevel.

But then I go to a Nani 2K. Smooth TPT, easily shaves arm hair, and I KNOW the bevel is set, set, set.
I just want to post a follow up here to say that this advice is the best I've received, so far.

I'm now using a DMT D8E to set the bevel and establish an arm-hair popping edge. I don't leave that hone until I know I could actually shave with that blade if I wanted to, before I go to the Naniwa 2000, followed by the 4/8 Norton, then the Naniwa 12k, and last time I honed my razors (a month ago) I finished them all with an Escher. I have the Shapton glass 16k and 30k and might decide to use them next time. However, I've shaved with all of my SRs now, some more than once, and can happily report very positive results all around.
