By the way I had a wonderful shave today...my 1st wtg pass felt like nothing and it made it look 80%bbs.... was tempted to not even bother with the rest of the passes lol. STILL HHT'D AFTER SHAVE TOO!!! was happy bout this

Noobs for ya
Whatever stone you just used not what you started the progression with. So if you start with the 8k, then you say go to the 12k and stop; or you could say go 8k then 16k b/c the grit range is no more than double the previous grit hone. As was mentioned earlier, this would be easier than say going from 4k straight to 16k to finish.
