Emil. A couple of things I know from experience.
1. The one new Puma I honed was warped in the spine. Quality is not like the vintage Pumas. This may account for you having some areas sharp & others blunt. You will need to adapt your stroke to make contact with the whole edge use the magic marker test to assess contact .
Bevel-setting in theory and practice - Straight Razor Place Wiki
2. Kasumi stones are verrry soft & need lapping frequently. They are made for stainless knives not razors. They also cut very fast & work best on light pressure which you say you are using. As fast as they are a 3k does not replace a 1k if it is needed.
The other VIP thing is that the 3/8k's I have seen &/or used are mis-labeled. The white side is 3k & the yellow is 8k. If you are using the yellow side thinking it is 3k it is no wonder you are getting nowhere.
Hope this helps.
