Yup, put it down and walk away, had to do that several times myself.

Some razor's seem to hone themselves, and others test your patience, and it takes lots of practice to develop the right touch, and to know what your objective is other than just passing the razor over and over the stones waiting for it to feel "sharp" - you're looking at making the striations on the edges of the blade meet at the apex to form a bevel. A loupe is a must have for the beginner, and an important tool in any honer's kit.

You need to look that the edge with the loupe, make sure you have a uniform edge from heel to toe, and you can see the striations slowly creep up the edge to meet on both sides of the edge - that's your goal for bevel setting, and the loupe is your friend.

For me, when I sit down to hone, I usually just do one session to set the bevel, once that's done, the fun part begins.....but the foundation is that first bevel set.

As Hirlau say's, step away, have a goods nights rest, and ave a look again on a new day....
