If you cannot spare a couple of hours per razor, then razor restoration is not for you. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
It's not like I don't have anything better to do with my time, so if there would be multiple ways of achieving the same results, I'd pick the fastest.
But still I find myself spending hours and hours on handsanding, because that is the way to get the best results.

I recently dremeled the destroyed edge of a 6/8 hollow ground to a 5/8 width.
turning that stump into a decent edge took me between 2 and 3 hours on the DMT 325 grit.

The amount of damage you did so for, you would at least need an hour to undo it all on a 1K.
These things take time. Bill's CD will help (or so I am told, I don't have it) but it will not magically make more time for you.
