can't seem to get that part honed
i have my old geneva, and since i have been using it for a while now, and i always noticed that the end of the blade is just duller than the rest of the razor, when i honed it always stayed the same. Now that i have my 220 grit stone i still can't get that one spot any sharper, any tips please.

Have you tried using magic marker to determine if all parts are contacting the hone with the given stroke?

A photo would help. Could it be because of a smile or something like that?

220 grit? That's for restoration, not sharpening.

if you are having problems with the toe area, it is smiling and will require a bit of modified stroke to get it all honed. Use the magic marker trick to see what stroke will work best.
