Thread: nice shave, beveled right?

Some razors have a warp to them, or an unevenness to the grind that means the bevel is never going to be even. For me, "setting the bevel" just means getting rid of any edge damage and ensuring that the two sides of the bevel meet in the middle. It sounds like you've acheived those goals, so don't worry about the uneven width.

Yup.

Setting the bevel is converting the edge of the blade from a "U" shape to a perfect "V" shape along the entire length of the blade. The width of the bevel is irrelevant.
