Just had another look at this video and froze your second stroke, have a look yourself I'd say your angle is still too high. I now agree you may be scraping not cutting. Start with the razor honed then try again.
I'm about a year in and still learning it will come together but it'll take time and patience.
I will keep trying that steeper angle I really need to practice, after it is sharp of course. Thank you for the help
