    One thing I would point out pressure on the 1k is ok, but when the bevel is about set I would stop using pressure and go with light strokes. The light strokes will help smooth out the razor from the heavy pressure strokes. I always finish with light strokes. That goes for all stones and all grits. One other thing is if you get frustrated or whatever when honing stop and walk away for awhile. Let your hands and mind rest. I don't know how many times when I first started honing that I couldn't get a bevel set and would get mad and frustrated. Once I realized to walk away and relax I was able to get better edges once I came back to them.
