The blade didn't need a refresh not even a stropping. It had an amazing performance, it only lost a little edge keenness but won on smoothness. With today's refresh, it has returned to the first day state.
I used a JNAT, Shobudani Midori Asagi that said the vendor but who knows, the main thing is that it works. With a Mikawa Shiro Nagura progression. I used in this order Botan ボタン, Tenjou 天上, Mejiro 目白 and Koma コマ. There is no magic, just raise the slurry on the base stone, not too light or muddy, and then run the blade across the stone, I did it gently the stone is hard and you can damage the edge.
When I started sharpening I counted the passes but I found it counterintuitive and useless because I quickly got distracted and it didn`t allow me to pay attention to more important things such as the movement, the pressure, the slurry evolution or the sound of the blade on the stone.
Here is a video of the sharpening.
And the final stropping, On linen and leather with the dog snoring under the camera.
I did strop between naguras, but I failed to record the video
