Yes & no. Soft stones release grit more readily & are rarely as fine as a good hard razor stone, tho some expensive ones come so close there can be overlap. The tendency is to slightly less sharp due to dare I say it "slurry dulling". The edge gets slightly convexed. It's not like you need to lap the stone like a 1k King setting a bevel on a wedge

A final edge can be a very personal thing.
