Thread: Bevelsetting on a Coticule.

I think you got it right.
"Bevel setting", or "bevel correction" simply refers to the formation of two flat planes that run all the way to the outer limit of the blade. The finer hones that are used on a razor's edge don't have the speed to correct geometrical issues of the edge, hence it needs to be taken care of first, using a hone that has enough cutting power to shape the cutting bevel. Every razor has a preset bevel angle, defined by the thickness of the spine and the width of the blade. The angle is easy to repeat and to maintain by placing the blade flat on the hone.
All razor honing is generally done with one angle: bevel correction as well as the rest of the progression.
You can add one (or even more) layer(s) of tape to the spine, which slightly alters the bevel angle. It is important to maintain the tape for the entire honing job. Usually tape is added to protect fancy spine decorations form hone wear. Sometimes also to tackle problems with wedge-style razors.
Here's a more in depth article about bevel correction.
