Also you mentioned earlier of feeling a hard particle on the 8k during honing . This is a red flag that the surface is compromised.
Its an old razor and the spine doesn't have even wear on it, so the bevel isn't the same width along the length of it. I do not see any glints when I look down the bevel. I have other razors where the bevels haven't been set, for which I can see the glints
