    When I hone a razor with a definite "smile" I use the rolling X stroke with a pronounced heel leading angle of about 45-55 degrees. The greater the "smile"or the more the blade is tapered then the greater the angle. I have also been known to use a finger on the blade to keep it in contact with the hone.

    If your still trying to establish a bevel I suggest you switch to a 1000 grit sandpaper. It is faster because there are more abrasive grains per square inch. If you have pics that would help.
