Thanked: 9Just wanted to close this out. I tried most everything suggested here and even went to honing while standing. I got what felt like a uniformly sharp edge but after stropping still had a noticible difference from heel to toe. I am sure my honing technique has improved over the last couple of weeks but final issue was with the strop. I have a kangaroo strop and since it is so thin I put a fair amount of tension on it to keep it flat, I thought. I was actually preventing the razor from making consistent full contact with the leather. Loosened up on the strop and maintained little more than blade weight for pressure and I am getting and excellent edge along the length of the blade. I am now working through my small collection of razors to get them all to this standard. Thanks again for all the help
