I lapped the 8K with the DMT 325, cleaned the hone off and raised some slurry with the same DMT.

I did 40 circles less pressure followed by 10 X strokes 4 times, after this I was able to cut hair a 8th inch above skin level. I rinsed the 8K, did 20 X strokes on water only.

I re-lapped the 8K side with the DMT, followed by 2000 grit sandpaper, then 4000. The surface of the 8K became less matted.

I did 30 X strokes with no pressure, 50 laps on weaved cotton, and 100 on English Bridle. I got to HHT 4.
So you basically did 200 circles, and 90 x strokes on the 8k all in all? This would be enough even after a 1k bevel set imo I will try this, never did more than 50-100 low pressure x strokes on clean water.
