I usually lightly joint, additionally at the 8 or 12k, very lightly, then reset on the high grit stone. I also strop on a Chrome Oxide, Sailcloth canvas strop before going to the finishing stone.
I see no point in dulling the edge on glass, once the bevels are flat the edge should come back to meeting, in just a few laps.
As said when doing edge repair or after buffing or sanding, usually requires more edge removal to get to solid steel.
