Ok guys been shaving a couple months with straight razor i bought on EBAY. Its a DOVO, says "Carpe Diem" on the blade. Anyway shaving with it was nice till recently. It started getting to the point where it needed a honing. I bought a 4000/8000 grit Norton waterstone and watched a bunch of youtube vids on honing. I honed it and the end result is sharp, it will peel the hair right off of my arm but HURTS like hell to shave my face with..... Its like its pulling and extremely uncomfortable. I had noticed when i got it that there was something funny about the edge. I may have to take a pic of it to show but, in the best words i can describe it here goes. The edge of the blade, the bevel itself, is not even from one end of the blade to the other. Its like the bevel is deeper on the ends and very shallow in the middle. When you flip the blade over its reversed.... deep bevel in the middle and shallow on ends. My questions are....

1. Is the blade bent??
2. Is honing really that hard to get a smooth shave?

Thanks for your time in reading this guys =)
