once you've reached sharpness with BBW, what makes more sense: diluting bbw slurry, finishing with bbw + water, or moving to coticule with water?

I read a post by Bart a long time ago that BBW + water tends not to improve the edge and can actually dull it-- he advises moving from BBW + Slurry to Coticule + Water.

When I use my combo hone, I start with BBW with moderate slurry and then dillute it as I go, but not to the point of water only.
