Sharkbite, That is a possibility, like i said i am kinda new to honing razors. I can get an edge that shaves great just i keep scratching the blade.

Euclid, Here is the pic you asked for of the heel on the other side, i hope it came out ok so you can see what you wanted.

I did a razor tonight and tied less slurry and really took my time but i still ended up with some scratches on the body of the blade just not as bad. This is one of those things that i think will get better with practice but i would very much like to know what i am doing wrong so i can correct myself. Im guessing that you are not to go up on the heel at all right? Im finding that this is a fine art to do it right and im still playing with water colors
