You don't have to refresh slury , just continue honing, it will be fine to do do so.

To all aspiring razor sharpeners

Well, this morning I shaved. The razor was honed from bevel to finish on my La Veinette and I am very pleased with the result.
I followed the guide in this thread including the final dilution stage and then the unicot. The edge was sharp and smooth, although not quite as smooth as I would have liked. Maybe a few more laps on water will fix that up, but I tend to always dislike a freshly honed razor as opposed to one a few shaves in.
Anyway, this was the first time I did not use a Naniwa to set a bevel and I am very proud of myself.

Oh, but I'm not here to stop you. To some people honing razors comes naturally. To some it doesn't.
I belong to the latter group myself. I couldn't get it, before I was ready to swallow all my pride and started copying exactly what David Polan wrote. He's the guy who eventually got me on the right track. By that time, I was so mentally messed up with trying everything for nearly 60 days in a row, that I would have painted my hair pink if the man had said that was necessary to get my razor sharp again. I had started honing on my new Dovo when it just started to pull a little. It became duller with each new attempt. I thought that 15 years of sharpening woodworking tools would owe me some sharp razors. It didn't. It granted me a lesson in humbleness instead. It thaught me there was a lot to learn about the concept sharpness.
This forum exists to catch whomever seeks more information for whatever reason.
