Sounds like an excellent approach. I see a lot of posts here where guys have a razor that's allegedly 'pulling' or 'tugging',which generates long stories about stropping and paste and bevel setting and pyramids and a plethora of tests and opinions and sometimes even conflict.

If more people took a more minimalist approach like you did and did the minimum number of strokes it'd save a lot of heart ache.

Having said that, those that hone razors for a fee would suffer a downturn in business equal to the GFC.

BTW, my standard touch up approach is 20 on the Shapton 16k for my Swedish razors and 10 for the others. However, I did 40 on the Shapton for the J A Hellberg (Swedish; harder steel) the other day and now it's scary sharp...
