I sharpened my knife down to 9 degree per side but it just can't whittle free hanging hair like yours... don't know why
Or maybe my hair is just too thin
I'm guessing it's one of two things. It'e either you did not shape the edge properly(the two bevels did not meet in an apex) or you had a burr. I used a coarser hair in that vid for visibility purposes.
Whittling hair is not about how low your bevel angles are, it how well-shaped your edge is.
