As Shaun said, look at the edge and make sure you have fully set the bevel.
In another thread Glen mentioned the disconnect with novice honers understanding, there is a big difference in setting a bevel on a razor that just needs a touch up, the bevels are already flat, just not meeting. And setting a bevel on a razor that has been sanded or buffed and has no bevel or a completely uneven bevel.
Both are Bevel Setting, but really two completely different pieces of work.
Tape, probably at least 2 layers and look at the edge with magnification, do not use pressure to speed up the process or you may end up with edge chipping.
It does not matter if you use a 1 or 3k as long as you do not use too much pressure and you remove the stria from each previous stone before moving on.
