Nevermind I found pages on this

Ok, I have a question. The highest grit stones I have ordered are the 1200/1600 stones. I also have 10/14 micron compound and leather strops ordered. By looking at the grit chart it shows that the grit size of the 1600 stone is much smaller than the grit size of the 10 micron stropping compound. Should I cancel the 10/14 compound order and order the next compound down the chart after the 1600 grit stone?

It looks to me that the 1 micron and 0.5 micron sprays would be the logical progression. Of course I could be way off here and not understand the action of grit when stropping vs stones.
