If you are looking straight down on the blade you should see nothing. Any light reflection, any sparkle means your bevel is not set in that area or chipping etc. Im no pro so I may be missing something but this is my experience tintin.
The way I can see what my scratch pattern is doing is I look straight down on the edge with my magnification, then I slowly tilt the razor to one side and you should be able to see the blade shine and also see any scratches. Then if I am on say, 4k and there are still some nasty scratches showing then back to say 1k with light strokes to remove or lessen the deep scratches then back to 4k and so on. Just my 2 cents Sir best of luck
