Thread: Help with my Joseph Rodgers wedge.

Hi,
I'm new to honing (and the forum) and have been trying to do my razor with a few kinks along the way. Firstly it was sent away to be honed professionally so it shouldn't be too bad off. I have been shaving with it for close to 8 months or so and using diamond paste. I'm thinking that I may have rounded off the edge a bit.
The trouble is that I have not been able to get the hone to contact spots on the toe and heel of the razor. I put 2 layers of tape in trying and have been using 45degree x strokes, as well as rolling x. All of which are used with the spine in contact with the stones. After putting marker on the edge, it's evident that the bevel that was set is not working for me. I am worried about getting a thicker bevel then needed as well as loosing metal on the heel.
You may notice that the heel has a bit of honewear from me lifting the spine a bit. I did this in trying to figure the bevel out but realized that it's not what's needed.
I have done a bunch of reading and watched some videos, however I'm a bit uneasy as to how to proceed next.
I hope I'm just over reacting here and just need to put more time in getting the bevel set.
Thanks!
