Thread: Uneven bevil, please help!

Ernie,

Glen has some fantastic videos out there and I learned a lot from them. As far as an uneven bevel, it may just have to be. As long as it's giving you a good shave that's all that counts.

With that said as previously suggested try applying some electrical tape. From the look of the hone wear, I'd suggest applying Two Layers.

I would hope that your hones have been flattened/smoothed? If not you are wasting your time and wasting steel that can not be replaced.

I use a King 1200 as a bevel setter, and I change tape Very Often when I'm using it. Please give this a try.

If you are still not getting a good shave PM me and I'll see what I can do for you.

Hang in there! It's not as easy as some would lead you to believe. I think that my friend Glen put it very nicely when he said;

"Honing is easy til it ain't"

How true that is!

Was this a new razor?

Judging by the wear on the spine, it is either too much pressure, common for novice honers or hones that are not flat.

This is why we recommend novice honers use tape, until you learn to hone, then decide to continue or not.

Even size bevels or not do not effect the shaving edge.

More importantly, how does it shave?

Take up Alienedge and Cuda up on their offers or find a local mentor for hands on coaching.
