Sorry. I use an old carbon steel kitchen cleaver I picked up at a flea market. I take the stones surface as high as possible with W/D and then burnish with the cleaver and water. Pressure will speed things up, but be careful...I've scratched a few in the past using too much pressure.
Once you get it razor ready I wouldn't slurry anything on it. Like Euclid said you can use the other side of the stone if you want to play around with nagura or other slurry stones. I've tried slurry on a trans...wasn't for me.
