Thanked: 271The bevel is the sharp edge where the two sides of the blade meet in a point.
The reason why Howard recommended a flattening stone is because the Norton stone is porous and if you flatten it with abrasive paper there is a high probabiliy of getting grit stuck in the stone that makes it impossible to use (you won't see it but you'll feel and hear it when the blade of the razor hits it). This happened to me the first time I lapped my Norton.
