Glad you got it worked out. I noticed in the photo there was some wear on the heel in the stabilizer- I had an "a-ha" moment when I realized not to put the stabilizer on the hone. It raises the heel and changes the contact with the blade on the stone. If you find your bevel is not setting on the bottom 1/3rd of the blade it could be that.
Of course that wear could have been there when you got the blade. Just trying to help

I'm pretty sure that might be some weird lighting. I tried to use a light box yesterday for the first time and it didn't work out great. I definitely always make a conscious effort to keep the stabilizers well off the hone. If there is any wear I'm guessing it might have been there previously, but i'll definitely make sure to keep heel placement in mind. Thanks!

One thing about DDs is they all shave consistently great no matter the model or the age. I have a stainless duck and it shaves great too.

For me, Stainless razors have a little more grainy feeling on the Naniwa's than the Carbon razors but I don't do anything different when honing them other than a couple extra strokes on the higher grit stones. Any extra pressure on the blade pictured would be counter productive as I am sure there would be more flex in the blade than what is needed to set the bevel.
Have fun.
