I am experimenting with three layers only for the reason that I am trying to find a way to set a good bevel without "tall" sides, the sides being the distance from the edge to the end of the bevel. So far, mine seem to have been "taller" than the good ones that I have seen, and I am trying to find a way to make mine look more like those of the honemeisters.
As much as I am against breadknifing in principle, I have been doing that because going from three layers of tape to one or none and re-setting the bevel seems like an awful lot of work to take on. It seems like breadknifiing makes it quicker.
If I'm getting bevel edges that are too "tall" with three layers of tape, it is likely to get much worse with no layers, for the very reasons you detailed. Tonight I'm going to give two layers a shot at 220 and see if I can set a bevel without exerting any pressure. I tried that with 1K, but after three hours, more laps than I could possibly count, and three top layer tape replacements, it's hard to maintain paitence and not apply pressure.
Two comments, and one suggestion:
