    This ones easy. The balance between your 4K passes and 8K passes is off. You can't smooth out the edge with .5 or less without "pre-smoothing" the edge on 8k. You need more 8k.

    Add 20 passes with 8K, the last 5 really lightly. Try this atleast twice before hitting .5, watch out for overhoning.

    So next time increase your ration of 8K strokes. You'll not need the .5 paste if you do this correctly.

    Once you do this, you'll realize this is a new month. Time to learn lots of new stuff.

    The other, less likely possibility, is that your face is sensing an overhoned or what I call a "pre-overhoned" edge. It may be overhoned but not provide proof against whatever overhoning test you might be using. Again, this is less likely of the two IMHO.
