Ha! Yeah, thanks for clearing it up, RezDog.
Owen88, I thought you meant you had resolved the honing trouble, and I wondered what the solution was.Keep your pivot dry!

Did you grid the hone before lapping ? Are the edges of the hone rounded off ? Does your elbow drop during a lap. Do you use too much pressure on one side? Is the stone new? Does the metal lap off easy ?
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

1. Yes I used a grid. 2. Yes the edges are rounded. 3. I use 2 hands when I hone. 4. I don't think I use uneven pressure. 5. The stone is brand new. 6. The metal comes off easily. Originally Posted by 10Pups

If you turn the stone round are you still getting a build up on the right hand side? If so, this could indicate too much pressure in that area maybe caused by the second hand. You should be able to clarify this pretty easily by lapping completely flat - if the same thing occurs - it's down to you.

Super Stones do load up some, are you talking about the stone getting black?
When you lapped the stone what did you use? Did you spin the stone 180 degrees and lap? You stone may be flat but not level.
Some photos of the stone with the metal you describe may be helpful.
Your razor’s edge looks uneven the toe is smaller than the heel. The heel appears to have a weird angle to the first ½ inch, which may be part of your problem.
Also there appears to be pitting consistent with Cell Rot that has been buffed off. Did you clean up the razor and do you have any photos of the razor before it was buffed?
It may be that you are using too much pressure on a crumbling blade a common problem with novice honers, the pressure not the crumbling. Look at the edge with magnification and see if the edge is crumbling /jagged not smooth.
Photos are always helpful in assisting you with a problem.WadePatton likes this.
