Is this the razor that was having edge issues? It may be, it will not hold that thin of an edge. If it fails again, try honing on 1um with paper and skip the .03um paper or maybe just do 3-5 laps on .03um to try and polish just the edge.

You can see by the polish on the edge where the paper is concentrating the polish on half of the bevel from the edge back in photos 1 & 2, but also where the edge is very thin. Film is deceptively aggressive.

So, with a lot of this kind of experimentation, you are taking the edge to the extreme, or to failure. Then just back it off, just a bit, until you get to the point you have a usable edge. In this case, I think the issue is with the razor steel, not so much technique.

The bevel does look nice, good work.
This is a different blade, a Dovo. I did 1um and made sure the rolling was cleaned up, and then did weight of blade with 0.3um. Indeed it seems very aggressive. Will test shave Tuesday morning and see how it goes.
