Thats a tough question based on the information provided. Can I assume you did
1/5
1/5 and so one, and not fifteen laps?

I would back hone on 8K to remove all the burr created earlier. Then hone using an x pattern stroke using ever so light pressure for 3 strokes, then hone on ultra light pressure for about 10-15 strokes. Ultra light being less than ever so light...so thats a touch of pressure for the first three strokes then move to an ultra touch.

Then I would strop and start feeling for a draw on the strop. I would play with it a little until I achieved draw.

I assume you don't have .5 paste, which is what I'd usually start messing with, but you need to use the x pattern soon and a light touch, but I think you've done a little damage to the edge at this point so a few extra 8k passes may help. I would suggest applying lather to the 8k and work on it for a little seeing if you can attain draw on a strop, or cut arm hairs. After you complete the actions in the first two paragraphs. So thats lather at the end of the process, which may help as the razor gets sharp.

For a beginner you can often have better results by caging the blade with you finger lightly on top of the blade to ensure it stays flat atleast for the first few iterations.
