“I felt no sticking at any point, I think from Boz that sticking is a good indicator of razor done and the oil need to lighten up to finish. Correct me if I misunderstood.”

That a razor sticks to a stone is an indicator that the bevel is flat at the point that it is sticking. It does not mean that the whole bevel is flat or that both sides are flat… or that the edges are meeting fully.

It is possible to have a flat bevel with an incomplete, or no edge.

So stiction is not an indicator of “razor done”, just that one spot is flat to the stone. If you had a proper straight and chip free edge before you went to the finish stone, you could have improved the edge. But if it the bevels were not fully meeting at a chip free edge, it is doubtful that the finish stone brought the edges to meeting fully.

It may shave, but not as well as it could.

I mention this because based on the last photo the OP posted, in a recent other thread, of his 8k bevels, the edge was not straight and chip free.
