Exactly what is written there, instead of just using water and a natural stone as a finish I always use a light slurry for the first 20 laps, I actually do 10 laps then dilute and do 10 more then rinse to clear,,, This system "trains" that edge to that natural stone IMO... These things are tricks you have to try yourself some might work for you, and your stone, then again it might be of no help at all...
To me consistency is the key to honing, I have to feel that what I am doing is working, and repeatable, otherwise I change things up...
