The gradual DMT use like you are describing will work but it will rip the holy heck outta the bevel with deep scratches... Take a look at the vids and listen to the logic behind the steps and it will all make sense to you as you have a firm grasp of honing principals... Should pop a light on for you really easy
Thanks. I have seen a few of your vids, would you mind sending me a pm with the ones you are referring?

I basically hate diamonds on razors, but I so rarely need anything coarser than 4K and generally set my bevels with the 4k norton. If I saw a greater need for coarser water hones I'd spend the cash...but they would see light so infrequently. I agree diamonds are hell on carbon steel, but value your insight.

Thanks
