I interact with JPO quite a bit via YouTube and I’m also aware of the condition he describes; metal fatigue at the apex caused from the many passes that are necessary in a large jump from a very coarse stone to a very fine one. The steel, itself, and the way that steel is tempered play a big role in this. With a progression like yours, it is an unlikely issue.
If you’re in the US I will hone your razors for the cost of shipping them to me. I’ve been doing this for folks on Reddit/Lemmy/PieFed who are starting their straight razor journey.
