Now comes the cool part, as the very front of the edge gets Thinner (Sharper) the water will start to ride up on the blade face (Undercutting) if you lighten up on the pressure the wave will move back down toward the front of the edge...

Hope that helps somebody

Glen has the right of it.
My addition:
I watch for the "clear" water to be at the edge during the stroke, and I can see the bevel through it, with the slurry connected to it and showing above it on the blade.
