What is your indication to switch stones/move up?

Forgive me if this is stupid ok? If it takes 20 strokes on one side to form a burr, does the other side of the edge need 20 strokes to maintain a centered edge? If so, doesn’t that just move the burr to the other side?

No that's actually a good question, ideally you'll do the same number of strokes on each side... but it rarely works out that way with a fixed angle system like an Edge Pro. Often times one side of has a wider bevel than the other from the factory. If thats the case I usually spend more time on the side with the narrower bevel to even them out.
