I have a 3 line Swaty. I used to use it (lapped) as a finisher after my Norton 4/8 until I picked up a Shapton Pro 12K. I found the Swaty worked very well. In another thread on the Swaty it was mentioned that one side may be coarser then the other. If you haven't tried both sides you might give the opposite side a go. You may be pleasantly surprised.

An old barber told me to hold the razor securely but lightly enough so that is if it pulls the razor will flex in your fingers and be less likely to nick. He also told me to never force it if it does pull. Following that advice I have rarely gotten a nick.
