I don't set a bevel on a razor unless it is necessary. A new TI would 'probably' not need to have the bevel set. If it did I would use Lynn's circle technique on the 1k and then on the 4k. Move to 8k and so on. I don't even go 220 to remove chips. I might go 600 DMT but most of the time the 1k chosera is plenty. It always varies depending on the razor. Like thebigspendur said, on a new razor I start at 8k , lightly and politely. I only go lower if I have to.
