I think you may be really overusing the chrome ox, but I'm too new at this to opine. I think if you get the honing right you should be able to skip the chrome ox and you won't get so many wire edges and won't be messing your edge as much as it sounds like you are doing.
Again, I know very little but this sounds like an error I used to make and I was always cutting myself up and now I don't.
