You do need a higher grit hone.

You probably need to spend more time working the bevel on your 1k as well. It is ok to use pressure when setting a bevel, and unless you're working on a brand new razor, or a razor that was previously shave ready and doesn't need much work, you will probably need more than 20 circles and 20 laps.

As to the warp in your blade you can either do rolling strokes to make contact (which takes some practice to get the muscle memory to do it well) or you can do a bunch of flat strokes, which will take it out eventually but leave you with an uneven bevel. It will be functional, it just won't look quite as pretty.
