+1 on the microscope if you have one.
Do not forget the magic marker trick -- it makes
it easy to see if the hone is touching the right bits of
the blade.
Once you have set the bevel lighten up on
the honing and limit yourself to the 8K side
of the norton for a couple shave tests.
On the 8K side alone.
Walk a batch of circles up each side leave
the slurry in place... then ten normal hone
strokes rinse the hone and ten more normal
hone strokes.
Strop on canvas then leather and shave test.
