Thread: Only honing part of blade?

For anything with a smile you'll need to do a rolling X stroke to cover the full length of the bevel.

You could also try rolling circle patterns on your bevel setter. So do 40 rolling circles a side, then 20 rolling X strokes and check to see if you can shave arm hair after each set. Keep doing that set until you can easily shave arm hair at all points along the blade. If you cant then your bevel isnt truly set and you need to stay on your 2k until you can.

+1 on the magic marker as well, that really helps to see if you're missing any spots!

Good luck and keep us posted!
