Does look better. Remember not to press too hard, and don't press straight down, like you're pressing the spine through the stone. That may be causing the blades edge to flex a bit causing the pressure to spread unevenly. Instead, torque the pressure to the edge. Keep the spine flat as always you should, and slightly, very slightly (if using your right hand) pretend to "push" or roll the pressure to the very edge of the blade face. remember this is a little pressure, never bare down or you will lift the spin. Glen has a good youtube vid that explains this "honing a smiling wedge" for a visual demo.
