Exact progressions for the Honing junkies
7 Razors:
Bevel set on a Chosera 1k basically 20 circles each side then 20 laps so that they were popping arm hair easily..
5 Razors:
Honed on the 1-3-8 Henckels Hones (Naniwa SS by another name) then finished on the 5 different naturals listed above using mostly a light slurry and pig tail strokes then dilute to clear water, except the Nakayama which I take to an almost dry state...
1 Razor:
Naniwa SS 1-3-5-8-10-12 using the technique of 10 laps on light slurry and 10 laps to clear water as described in the Naniwa honing thread..
1 Razor:
Shapton GS 1-2-4-6-8-16-30 using the same style technique as the Naniwas and the 3-2-1 finish on the 30k
7 Razors:
Stropped 8 laps on a 24 in Leather bench strop, coated with 99% pure CeOx powder mixed with Fromm strop conditioner...
7 Razors:
Stropped 50/100 Illinois #827, test shaved... re-stropped 25/50 SRD Premium #1, oiled and then sent to Michael...

8 laps on the CeOx strop? Doesn't that wash away the characteristics of the finishing hones a bit? Or it doesn't matter that much as I think?

Funny how those 8 laps caught yer eye, but the 225 laps on linen and leather plus a test shave did not I actually find that most interesting...
I' have to chew on that a bit, but I think it has to do most with what I wrote earlier today in another thread here... http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...tml#post776565

You have a point Glen
It is possible that the linen and leather laps and a test shave changes the edge more than the 8 laps on the paste. I am not used to shaving right off the stones without stropping, and I test shave every blade before giving it back, so I think it is so natural for me that I didn't even think about it.
