You would have been fine with refeed days up until a few BF%s ago but now that you are getting under 20 you will start losing muscle if you do refeed days.
Studies have shown that if you do weekly refeed days your body actually doesn't go into full ketosis.

This has a few studies referenced.

This isn't true at all, or not definitively anyways. I had weekly or biweekly (every other week, not twice a week) 'cheat' days and not only was I at significantly less than 20% BF (closer to 10%) I was still gaining muscle and losing weight without issue. Yes, I know this is at least somewhat dependent on body type but I actually found that I did much better and made better progress after a cheat/refeed day. Mind you, I only started the 'cheat' days after the first month or so to let my body get into ketosis properly and get used to it; once you're in ketosis it's quick to get back to it if you have the odd 'cheat' day.
