How about where they say to lay the razor "pretty flat" on the hone.
That bit of instruction won't make it as a sticky. 
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I'm still stuck like this:
on making slurry like "lather".

I think it is interesting. Apparently there was no use of the term: slurry
It's not a slurry stone, but a rubber; which does not produce slurry, but lather.
So in other contemporary sources that refer to using a stone with lather- what did they really mean?

I have heard tell of barbers using shaving lather on barber hones. Never heard of it done on an Escher, but certainly possible. Typically I just use water these days and the razors will produce a fine slurry. I have found that for a final polish, this works better than generating a thicker slurry with a nagura type stone.
