Some stones respond to water-only strokes and make a different edge, others don’t - you just have to try and see. Typically I’ll finish on thin slurry on the hard, fine finishers.

I think that you will be pleased!
Thanks, Steve, yes I'll try a few different methods finishing with slurry and honing without I'm sure I'll find the edge that most pleases me.
