When it’s repeatable, then you are making progress, otherwise…
You finally got the bevel fully set and polished.
You really, got too many stones involved in your learning process.
All you need is the 4/8k Norton. Mixing in all the naturals just confused the process, because you don’t know where the naturals fit in the progression, yet.
A Norton 8k edge is hard to beat. I know the whole natural stone mystique is alluring, the slurry and the hope you have some magic finisher, but few are better than 8k.
You probably did not do enough laps to polish the bevels and straighten the edge and your edge was never fully set.
Do it again, not on one you have already flattened the bevels… figure out what you are seeing at each step and max out each stone, strop and shave.
There are no magic stones…
