white paste is not sharpening compound -if you are talking about dovo white paste.
aloxite hone 300 stokes too much.
usually barber hones will not take more then 20 strokes on shave ready edge.
in fact you should go 4 strokes strop and check the edge not enough do 4 more strokes ,strop check the edge so on
but not 300.=this is honing.
i would say go head check the edge if you have any loop,mic etc.
if you don't have anything then go head
use white paste and make 50 strokes then move on to linen do 50 then leather strop 50 and check the edge . how it will shave.hanging hair test is not the best test in your situation.
if edge comes back then you should be ok if not
i am afraid you will need to send it out or get hones to do job yourself.
Norton 4/8k will do most like the job.
hope this helps.
