You may have overhoned your razor. Usually it is recommended you go back to a coarser hone to get rid of the overhoning. As you do not have one you could strop it very gently with the spine lifted a few millimeters off the leather 3-4 times on every side. This is highly controversial on SRP but works a treat as long as you apply only minimal pressure doing so.
After doing so give it 5-10 times on the 8K. After that you need to strop before you shave. Keep the angle to your face at 30 degrees and go gently.Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.
