No complaints here, just trying to help you, like everyone else who has spent the time replying to this thread.
After bread knifing the edge, you shouldn't have to go as drastic as 240 grit. The 800 should easily re-set the bevel.
A light bread knifing does help get rid of the micro chipping.
Now that you have the monkey shaving well, try 5 shaves using nothing but a strop, no crox, no hones. You should find the 3rd or 4th shave more comfortable than the 1st. That will help you discover the value of a strop.
If you get to 5 keep going, if you get to 10 keep going, if you get to 50 I am sending you my gold monkey to hone for me, as long as it doesn't end up 4/8...
