Yeah I realize now I could have gotten away without the "nuclear option".
Just super pleased with the results now. Thanks again all.

That maneuver is for the well experienced honers who know when to stop. You just create a lot of extra work for yourself and sometimes you really need some finesse to get the edge back. certainly there are times when bread-knifing is appropriate but as far as I'm concerned it's for ocassions when the edge looks like this:

I would take that razor & shape that gouge a little better with a Dremel &
use it as a "gut hook" for squirrels.
Hone the rest of the blade & put it in a camping pack.

Got to my other ebay guinea pig razor. First time finishing on the Coticule. I didn't get the bevel a perfectly even width, but still shaves great. Why am I posting? Don't know, other than just feeling good about getting this back in play again! Thanks for all the advice. What an addictive feeling...
