Vintage Blades LLC :: Sharpening Stones :: Waterstones
Waterstones
Waterstones use water as the lubricant rather than oil and develop a fast cutting slurry with use. Waterstones are not recommended for normal kitchen sharpening use. Though they sharpen quickly and can give an excellent finish, they require special preparation and maintenance.
For Waterstones to work properly, they must be soaked in water prior to use, for about 10 minutes, and the surface must be kept wet to develop the sharpening slurry. The 8000 Grit, however, just needs only to be splashed with water, and kept wet during use. For the straight razor users, please note that the 4000/8000 Combination Grit Waterstone is the perfect stone for you.

certainly go on to the 8000 Grit for that final polish, but for most of
