Mr. Bobbo, Sorry to hear that you have to deal with that pesky vacation getting in the way of your sharpening!
It sounds like you are not giving yourself enough credit. Anything in the 190 – 220 range is a nice sharp edge and probably more durable than a 150 edge. 150 is, like, really super sharp. Most likely much sharper then you actually need for kitchen knives. Speaking from personal experience, you have to be extremely careful with 150 sharpness knives as just bumping against the edge will cause epidermal leakage.
The days of 900 – 1200 sharpness are over!
