When I was pleased with the shape I got, I contemplated a bit about taping the spine while creating a new bevel, but in the end I decided not to, because I didn't want to alter the razors cutting angle even more than I already did.
I created a new bevel by honing (grinding) on that DMT325, then moved up to 600 grit, 1200grit and my regular honing sequence on a coticule. It's a great shaver now.
I think it could be done on sandpaper as well. This was my first experience doing something like that, so I'm not sure if I just was lucky to get a way with it. That new bevel turned out nice and even.
