What's Wrong With This Edge?

[LawsonStone]

Today I hit a curious problem with a razor I'm honing. It's a lovely Robeson Shur Edge. As you can see, beautiful scales. The blade had no visible rust, only a dark patina which I actually like so I decided not to sand-polish the blade, just clean it and give a light sanding to remove any surface debris.

Today I honed the razor. I've now honed maybe 6 Robeson Shur Edge razors. I love them, they seem to "take to the hone" and get an easy shaving edge. I've been delighted so far.

I confess also, I have not yet shaved with this razor so this might all be moot. Still, under the 'scope at maybe 120X I saw something that puzzled me and I would like the opinions of the honists and honemeisters in the house.

The process I took was to start on the DMT 325 for maybe 15 light laps to remove any irregularities from the edge and give me a nice surface for setting the bevel

DMT 1200 for bevel setting using alternating hard circules (sets of 20) and X strokes until the razor would shave leg-hair WTG cleanly. I didn't actually like the way this edge came up--it was leaving a little hair but (stupidly?) after being on the 1200 so long, I thought I'd go on up the progression.

Naniwa 3K for about 75 X strokes, then the Naniwa 8K for 50 laps, finishing on the Naniwa 12K for 50 laps. I have not yet stropped the blade. At this point, i would strop and shave and decide if it needs a pasted strop or if it's great as is.

But I decided after the 12K to look at the edge, thinking such an old edge might have micro chips etc. The first shot is the razor itself (showing off how pretty it is). The second is a section of the edge that looks (to me) normal. The third is in the center of the blade and I just don't know what I"m looking at. Under various lights it's still there.

Your input is eagerly sought and much appreciated.
