Not surprising, my technique was totally off. I was honing this razor as though it was a western style with proportional progressions. I was doing like 10/10, when I really I should have been doing the progression you have in your video 5 or 7/1. That is maybe my biggest mistake?

The progression is actually of minimal importance, some people use a flat progression of 7:1 some use lower some use 1:1

The important part is the Pressure switches

On a Western razor we create "Torque" toward the edge while honing by using the corners on the tang..
A Kamisori you have to use your Fingers and Thumbs to create that torque, and to make it more difficult the pressure has to roll from front to back as you are honing..
This pressure variation while honing Kamisori has to be learned, and that is what keeps the bevel even and allows for the edge to become VERY keen but still be smooth to the face..
