Not quite there yet, but I will do some more less aggressive pyramids and see what happens.

One more question though; Am i supposed to flatten the Norton stone even when new?

Thanks again,

Yes, a new Norton is not flat. You should really lap your Norton before each use. You will be surprised at how much more effective your hone will be. You will notice that your pencil marks disappear rather quickly when you lap before each session but you will also notice that your hone is not flat. Soak your hone before applying the pencil marks and lapping.
