I have also heard of some saving the slurry from flattening in a powder form to use back on top.
Has anyone done this?

After read all your answers and evaluated the prons & cons then I said to me why ask for the community wisdom if you will not hear what they have to say, so we have a winner, bluesman7 suggestion covers all the angles and offers the cleanest solution af all, I can use the stone as is it to experiment the effects on the bevel or as a finisher, also can be used as slurry stone, I can also lap the BBW to use it if I wish to.
I will let the hone just as it is, but now I have some good arguments to do that and since I have a brand new similar stone, I can have the best of worlds just doing nothing.
Sometimes less is more
Thank you guys
I used one dished like that for a long time to sharpen butcher knives. It worked fine. Don't see why it wouldn't work for razors as long as it's evenly worn and smooth. A little different edge profile but should still be sharp.
