Slurry really makes a difference, you don't have to go crazy, but a light slurry diluting as you go works. I got a slurry stone from Mueller at Timber Tools. It's great. I understand you can use the C12k slurries too.
I recently finished a blade on slurry, not finishing with plain water, and it was great, (Thanks Gary) It was a Torrey, kind of crappy, dull.
I did 15 x strokes, followed by 20 circles, followed by 15 x strokes, So 50, diluting as I went. I shaved with it today, right after stropping, 30/60 on SRD's Eng. Bridle, and it was great, very smooth, and resulted in BBS.
