Thanks @Luecke3262
I usually go Shapton 5k, Shapton Glass 8k, then JNAT or Pierre De La Lune with Botan, Tenjiu, Mejiru, Koma and Tomo. Difference is I am thinking of omitting the B, T, M, K and have the 12K shapton instead and sign-off with JNAT with Tomo slury only 
I don’t see a problem with it if you like the edges you’re getting. I personally still use T, M, K and TN to finish after 8k, but I could see you only going K - TN or just TN at 12k and I’m sure it would work out just fine. Let me know how you like it compared to aThanks @Luecke3262
J-Nat finish. I’ll do the same.
Thing is I invested a bit on this Filarmonica, haven't received it yet, and last thing I want is to destroy itI don’t see a problem with it if you like the edges you’re getting.

I can't see you destroying it while finishing on a JNAT. You can definitely destroy it on a 1K or by dropping it(I've done thisThing is I invested a bit on this Filarmonica, haven't received it yet, and last thing I want is to destroy it
). Use a little tape, make sure to change it between progressions and you'll be just fine!
I would say about 6-7 months. Haven't had dramas yet TBH. I sometimes rehone razors while they are still shaving fine just to get the experience or try different progression. I have honed a Friodur, W&B Elite, Dovo Bismark and a bunch of GD's. I started using synth. Solely 1K,5K,8K and 12K then extended to JNATs but always setting bevel on 5K followed by 8K then JNAT progression. I use tape. Haven't gone back down to 1K for a while. I am hoping that the condition of the Fili will not require setting a bevel down to a 1K (i do not have a middle ground 2 or 3K unfortunately). We will see, ai guess trial and errorI can't see you destroying it while finishing on a JNAT. You can definitely destroy it on a 1K or by dropping it(I've done this
How long have you been honing?
. I will keep watching your vids. For inspiration 
There are much better honing videos to watch than mine! LOLI would say about 6-7 months. Haven't had dramas yet TBH.

don't sell yourself short man... your vids are great. I follow Keith as well and actually got my first JNAT from him. Some folls honestly over complicate it and makes you feel clueless, when they start talking about "let the stone talk to you" and "feel the edge", I mean how am I supposed to visualize these things
THIS, I mean you can feel when the slurry starts to break down and it becomes smooth as silk. Otherwise, a bunch of it seems to be superstitious silly stuff. You're rubbing a piece of steel on a rock, not connecting to your ancestors through a rock rubbing ceremony.Some folls honestly over complicate it and makes you feel clueless, when they start talking about "let the stone talk to you" and "feel the edge", I mean how am I supposed to visualize these things
. Thanks for the tips, the reall test will be on the Fili
