Yes, if you’re having trouble with a skirting effect, I’d highly suggest lowering the bevel angle to around 30 degrees. It’s worked wonders for my planes. I still believe that Rob Cosman’s microbevel technique makes a lot of sense for longevity of an iron (I was just grinding the bevel far too steep), although I have some planes ground to Paul’s recommendation of 30 degrees.
