Just finishing on my C12K isn't much of a challenge as I know it's good, so I took another approach.
Dulled a 13/16 Globusmen with a few swipes on my sink.
Set a bevel on my 1k Chosera, 20 circles each way.
5 regular strokes (laps)
5 X-strokes
5 regular
Checked if it popped hairs on my arm, and TNT: Passed
5 regular and 5 X-strokes.
Bevel set and ready.
Put the 8x3" C12K on top of my Shapton stone holder and raised a good slurry using the slurry stone, nice white and milky.
20-25 circles on each side.
10 regular strokes
10 x-strokes
5-6 regular
Dipped the razor in the sink to rinse it and bring some water to dilute the slurry.
Repeated this 8-10 times until the slurry was gone.
Rinsed the C12K and did sets of 5 regular and 5 x-strokes until the edge undercut the water nice and evenly all along the edge, around 50 laps total, then 20 more for good measure.
Stropped with Illinois #827, 70 on linen, 125 on leather.
The shave:
Nice, sharp and comfortable.
Normally I'd do a few laps on CroX after honing, but dropped it for the sake of the experiment, did it after the shave instead.
