Thought I'd mention.
The reason I used too much pressure and as a result distorted bevels was because of watching tutorial videos.

It appears like the honers apply lots of pressure in the clips I watched at least..

Nower days I'm honing mainly blades that I have honed in the past , therefore they don't really need bevel set but i kill the edge and then it takes very little to bring it back.

I don't like to refresh razors because I enjoy honing and like to perfect the whole process from start to finish
