I would say you did a good job!
I never dared to shave straight from my 12k superstone, at that stage my honing was not good enough for that type of testing. But recently I shaved a few times just finishing on the natural stone to test how good is my honing and stone too. Surprisingly I had a very good shaves, maybe a little crispier edge tan after leather but not very far.
Probably the same curiosity took me through that experiments. My usual routine involve a good stropping of course.
