I also have a Krystolo stone (antique) which the instructions say to stroke the SR 5 times, using it like a hone. I also have the Tormex PA 70 past rated at 3 microns which I have not used, however, I have read numerous reviews of it as a stropping compound. Hel-l-l-l-l-lp!

Well from what you are used to a Naniwa 12k and some Crox pasted on linen or whatever, and it will make you feel like your in straight razor heaven.
