Awesome,,

Once the bevel comes together you are almost there, basically you are at the same place you were in the past with honing you Hollow Ground razors..
The real difference between difficult razors and easy razors is in the setting of the bevel

As Shaun mentioned already, you might need to refine the bevel a little more to take out and deep stria from the Diamonds if I read that right ..

Wasn't sure if you used the Diamonds on the bevel or the 1k hone I read both ideas above
