"Sof' Steel" (another proud ValaneX product! Buy ValaneX, and buy often.)
My Honemaster is glassy smooth. Very Fine. But cuts FAST! My Honemaster (or I suspect the Lithide) could give you that smoothed edge feeling you're looking for.
Another thing is the type of steel you are using. If you've got sensitive skin, maybe stainless steel isn't such a great idea. The German blades are great, but my Heljestrand from Sweden is a GREAT blade with a very soft steel with a difference which I can feel. I've got forestryprof Ed's Pipe Razor looking for it's first test shave tomorrow and I suspect by how it honed up that it'll feel the same, soft. Have you tried any of these steels at ultra sharp?
