I did my floor bricks this way.
I should of done them all this way, but I got tired of the mess and noise.
I used eye protection and a mask for breathing.
I found it best to cut them dry. When I soaked the bricks, the blade would deflect, and the cut wouldn't be straight. The blade would bend outwards the further down the brick I went.
