    Default why would bevel cut better on one side ????

    hello i hope everyone is having a good day,
    I have been trying to figure a out phenomenon i would sometimes encounter but cant really explain, i searched the forums and could not find an answer.

    I have noticed that sometimes during bevel setting one side of the bevel would cut arm hair more easily than the other, i used to check only one side of the bevel and when i saw the bevel is cutting arm hair i would move up to the next stone.
    now i started checking arm hair cutting at both sides and can sometimes notice a large difference but i cant think of why.

    from my understanding when the razor is cutting arm hair during bevel set(after it has been dulled on glass) it means that the bevels have now met into a point(V shape) and if indeed the 2 bevels meet at one point why would one side of the bevel cut better than the other ?

    what are your thoughts ? what is the mechanism here ? would you ignore this finding and move the grits or would you consider this abnormal and fix it ? and if so how would you approach fixing it ?

    thank you very much, and sorry if this is a stupid question
