I think you see more of a problem than actually exists. You're describing a
dulled edge, which can be produced equally as well in a smooth-looking
grind.

Judge your edge by the work it does.

I think that many people have trouble with multifaceted bevels which round
over the cutting edge and cause the turner to alter their angle of
approach
to the wood and makes the cutting edge of the tool efficient in a very
small
section of the edge. A clean, concave bevel and consistently sharp edge
is
preferred. So I advocate looking at the profile of the tool against the
wheel everytime the tool is dressed.
