the simple answer is yes. I have been honing long enough and after using the 8K as a finisher I am confident I have gotten all but what maybe Lynn or Glen would get with it. I can get a nice three pass shave off the 8K. I much prefer the 12K or 16K edge. In some cases I go higher but that is only on a few razors out of 126 that are in rotation. Razors like case and other new york/american steel that have a higher rockwall. Also my razor that was made by Kenny Powell in A2 steel is another that likes to be pushed farther with the Cr Ox after the 30K shapton.
