Bevel not fully set- Pics

[gssixgun]

I am hoping this will help to illustrate what we mean when we say 'The bevel must be fully set from heel to toe"

This edge and another much like it just got here for evaluation, I figured some of you might want to see what I look for on the edge before I even try a test shave..
The owner honed this and as you can see the bevels to the outsides of the black marks are nicely formed and polished to a shave ready condition..

These are two spots on the edge where the bevel fades out, there are two spots on one side and one spot on the other like this, I have not figured out the reason yet, but I will when I get the razor on the 1k to re-set the bevel..
Sometimes if the edge is just a touch better then this, it can really make you crazy because the razor will pass tests and actually shave ok, it might start pulling after one pass or only pull in one spot, and often this is the reason why..
You really really want to take the time to make sure that the bevel is fully formed from heel to toe, sometimes that even means you have to give it a little push to get the edge to do what you want it too...
I will try and get pics of the Bevel after I re-set it...





I hope that gives you a good visual of where the bevel is faded out...
