So, I've been noticing a perplexing result of my honing. First, I have a 1K king to set my bevel, then a Norton 4/8K. What is strange is I'm finding the scratches almost always seem to be more prevalent on the side of the "pull stroke" of my razors. Which is to say that the "push stroke" side of my razors always seem to be more polished.

I'm using a 16x loupe to observe my progression under a flourescent ceiling light. I've been trying to think of what might be the issue/issues. Is it that the light is reflecting off the bevel differently? More pressure on the push stroke than the pull stroke that is reducing/causing the appearance of the scratches? Is it that there really isn't a difference in the amount of polish between the two bevel sides, but merely the angle at which I'm observing the bevel on one side compared to the other?

I just find it strange, and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this?
