Yes that is correct you use the edge not flat wide bottomI now have the kit I need to smooth and make this stone ready for use. Plus, I've figured out what I was doing wrong in checking surfaces for true flatness, link.
Today I'm busy watching college football but I will get going tomorrow if the creek don't rise.
Happy shaves,

Thanks Lucas.
Here is the best thing you can have too tell if your stones are dead flat. I have one and it’s incredible. A little pricey but it pays for itself when your taking hours too lap a stone.
Gamma recommend this to me a few years ago.

You might compare it with this straight edge, linked. I have and have been using this tool but I claim no expertise. The specs are what I consider good and I have been pretty impressed in my dealings with the company selling it.
Keith is an expert, so you might want to go with what he advises.
Happy shaves,
