Hope this question makes sense

I've been honing for a while now and I think I can get quite good results, and the shaves are good as well (much better than I ever got from DE shaving. So, I'm happy with the sharpness of the edge, but when I look closely at the edge I can see lots of lines on the edge from the honing. Noticed this for a while, but today I got myself a small 100X magnifier and started to look closely at the edge while honing a new razor.

I noticed that even though I get a good sharp razor, the lines from the 4K Norton will not go away. I use the pyramid method and find that the 8K side doesn't get rid of the 4K lines. I also use a silkstone, followed by a dragon's tongue hone (both British), and then chromium oxide on strop. These give a very nice edge to the razor, but don't get rid of the lines from the 4k hone.

Is this normal, or am I missing a step out somewhere that should get rid of these lines. I would really like to get the edge looking really polished, but there are just too many lines from the 4k for this to happen.

Sorry for the long question, and hope someone has an idea what's going on
