I just don't seem to get the hang of ceramic sticks.
The magic seems to elude me.
Light or heavy engagement?
Push into the edge or drag away?
I have the same issues with a steel on the kitchen knives.

very light pressure, just sliding down the stick a few times. That is always my last step when touching up the edge.
I use three strops. One with black compound, one with white, and finish with green compound. Then a few passes one the ceramic stick.
With strops. you have to be careful to not use too much pressure, as I do NOT want to convex the edge on a blade that was not made that way.
