Any ideas what I might be doing wrong, because I am starting to hit a wall here.

Yes quit testing the edges no seriously


I have posted this a few times over the years, the Naniwa SS hones can lose the sharp tests in the middle for some of us,, Do your bevel setting tests, then proceed through the grits and simply watch the scratch pattern changes, and the feel of the bevel across the hones, then strop and test shave... See if that doesn't fix the "Problem"

I re-honed quite a few razors when I first bought the SS hones before I figured this out might be the same problem, give it a try
