Put her back on the stones today and tried again.

Hot shower,
warm oil
Dirty Bird Scuttle
Badger Brush
Gentleman's Best Signature Series Shave Soap/Cella Shave Cream/Glycerine
Adoration Axe, 1/4 hollow
AOS Aluminum
Old Spice
Vaseline for men.

Put the Axe back on the stones, stopped after the 8K Norton. Edge was sharp but harsh. Took the whiskers off no problem. Tomorrow I'll run it over the 12K and then maybe the .5 Crox and then strop. Hopefully that will smooth it out a bit.
The combination of soap/cream/glycerin caused the brush to give rise to a ton of suds. After three passes, the suds were still filling the scuttle.

Enjoy
