The initial bevel yes you do use pressure but as you progress you use less and when you get to the 8k and beyond stones you use little to none otherwise you risk damaging the edge, just take your time.
Ah, hmm. Perhaps this is why the Norton 8k is just leaving little scratches in random directions... and I can re-orient those scratches by changing the angle at which I move the blade....
