Need help setting bevel.
Using hones: 1200 King Deluxe and Norton 4/8K.

I would like to know how much pressure people use for setting a bevel. I always hear about light pressure, but that doesn't seem to work with razors I have tried: 7/16 half hollow, 5/8 full hollow. I've watched a number of videos of people honing and a fair amount of swarf is coming off. On the King it takes forever to set a bevel with light pressure; can't see any steel coming off unless I use what seems like a lot of pressure.

Sharpened the 7/16 razor up yesterday. Followed an article that said to mark the edge and stay on the 1K until I could take the marker off with a few light strokes on the 4K, then did about 40 strokes firm and then the same light on the 4K, and about the same on the 8K. I sharpened until I thought it felt smooth on the hone. It cuts Ok, but still a lot off pulling. Do I need to go back to the King or can I go to the Norton?Thanks for your advice
