I thought arks were painfully slow.
Does yours create a slurry the longer you hone with it?
Yeah its apples and oranges I guess.Umm... I'm probably not expert enough to answer this q. and may use the words differently, but...
The slurry in the picture is just a shot I took a few weeks back for instagram to show that translucent arks can cut - it's swarf after using with water and soap. It's also a picture of the ura on a (very old) yanagiba. So before that the knife had been sharpened on the the other 'wide-bevel' side. Which means that a lot of metal had been in contact with the stone, which is why there's a lot of swarf. It maybe took 30 seconds to get to the picture.
Dunno if that in any way answers your q., and even if it does, possibly doesn't have much relevance to razor honing anyway (?)

I just wash it off with dish soap. There is very little absorption with a hard ark so it’s very easy to flip from oil back to water if I want to.Thx u,, how do u keep her clean, if using wd or other oils?
Thx

Before I started buying it by the gallon, I would spray it from the aerosol can into a plastic squeeze bottle so I could use it by the drop. A little goes a long way on a Black/Trans Ark.How do u use wd40, drops or just wd?
