I'd say for a first time effort that it sounds like you did pretty good.
Try going back to the 12K and do just 5-7 X strokes with no more pressure than the weight of the blade. Balance it on the stone so your stokes are even and then do 3-5 more strokes with the same pressure on the treated pad followed by another 50 on the strop and see if that improves the smoothness.
Good luck.
