Yayyy! Excellent news!
After 45 minutes, I was annoyed and simply passed on the Shapton 12k
I’m not clear whether you moved to the 12k after 45 minutes or skipped it

I used it for 20-30 passes

Huh. Interesting.
I wonder whether 1k is too coarse?
@gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social, do you have an idea?

It’s really too difficult for me to assess what’s happening based on the description. @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social, are you using a 25x-40x loupe to inspect the edge?
I did a quick check online and found that a Proyan 1K is approximately equivalent to a 500 grit Japanese stone. That’s too coarse for anything other spine correction, if true. Can you provide more specs on the Proyan stones you have?
Did you test with the tomato after your 20-30 passes on the 12K or just after the 1K?
Also, is this a Japanese Parker? I don’t get an image when I follow the link in the SOTD.

I don’t have a loupe or a microscope, so I can only inspect with my mark 1 eyeballs.
I have the Proyan 1k glass stone, which should have a 9.1 micron grit (at least, that’s what is written on it.
The Parker is a US made Parker straight razor. I tried to cut the tomato during honing with the 1k stone; afterwards, I stopped trying.
