I'm going to be getting a Surgical Black Ark soon, and have one question about "burnishing" the surface. Once flat, it's my understanding that you have to run a lot of metal across the stone (knives, razors, chisels, what have you) till shiny. My question is: do you do this on a dry stone, or use whichever lubricant you going to use for honing (i.e. soap, mineral oil, honing oil, etc)?
Thanks
