    I don’t use naturals but what you were experiencing was typical for me at one point too. Once I started REALLY looking at what was happening, things got so much better. And yes, deep scratches were a problem. I have been and continue to be a huge fan of using 8k slurry. I’m only using synthetics so my stone preogression is different from yours. But the 4K stone is pretty aggressive. Using 8k slurry, I can buff those scratches away before the edge is developed. Then when I rinse and bring that edge up, it’s in its best condition. The finishing stones just improve the edge more and more.
