Great looking razor especially for your first.
Wow - you made that? Great job! Guess in the future when you get bit by RAD we'll find you in the workshop!!
Looks fantastic, I really like the look, nice big blade!! Congrats!
Update: I unpinned the blade and headed back to the grinder to fix the geometry issue.... I took 1/8" off the blade width at the cutting edge so the overall width is now 7/8". Since the hollow starts approximately 1/8" down from the spine, I suppose the blade size measures now more like a 6/8. Now, I am in the range for getting the bevel I want without getting caught up using a bunch of tape trying to make it work. I think I am on a better path now. After I get the finish grinding done tomorrow, I will post a pic. Thanks to those who have commented.

You are off to a great start! I like it that you made the fix in steel. I did the same thing on my first, and tape was a quick fix. Not a good fix, I never was happy with it.
Here is my blade after adjusting the width and regrinding.

Here is the razor with an adjusted width and re-pinned into into its handle.
