Some start a slurry and keep adding water until it finishes without any slurry, but others said that by using oil, the hone really took it to a different level.

How will I use it? Water or oil? Or both?
if i where you use water ,first come off the 8k to the Lm use a slurry diluted with water until there is a small amount left wash the stone off and give it 10-12 laps on just water only the LM gives a very sharp edge using the slurry will give a smoother edge.
