I dont like arkies, but do have a mostly retired huge Charnley Forest. To soften that edge, you need a sedimentary stone IMO. I have tried slurrying ceramic stones and they dont break down right...too hard.
Pro tip: you can actually use a escher slurry stone on the G20 to almost get the same edge as going to a real full size escher/thuringian.
