To summarize the Carter stuff, quite a few tried this method, but I've yet to see anyone that would actually prefer it to established honing methods... And the progression sure sounds fine, you'll get great shaves when you get the hang of it I'm sure.

I'm using almost the same progression as you. I have the 1k, 4k, & 6k King stones and then a natural chinese "12k" stone. Works well enough for me. You'll probably end up spending some time on the 6k but if you work up a little slurry on it and dilute it to water it may cut a bit faster at first to ease the jump.

BTW, newspaper should come after CrOx logically. I'm not familiar with Carter's method though.

Welcome to SRP. Let us know how things progress. As has been said your progression of stones can certainly work.
