I've done the T4 over Oxpho and sometimes it does help, depending on the particular steel. Sometimes Oxpho blends in better, sometimes T4, sometimes a combination. And sometimes Birchwood-Casey's. There's 44-40 on the bench which comes out exceptionally dark but I've had serious after-rust problems on test pieces.

Technique seems to matter a lot with Oxpho.
