(Not sure why I 'thanked the posting'. A Sr moment). Having photos would help. The whole uneven wear and bevel thing is difficult to visualise.
When honing I always tape my razors. Might be just habit but I do find them easier to hone when I use tape.
Only positive input that I may have is the old marker on the blade trick. Marking the blade with an waterproof marker it see where the honing isn't even. Helps sometimes.
