Hmm, I thought I already had done. Excessive pressure would be that amount which would cause a hollow ground or otherwise razor to flex in such a manner that most or all of the steel is being removed way behind the actual edge, and cause the apex to no longer touch the hone. This should be fairly easy to check with a Sharpie and a loupe.
