I'm setting the bevel on an ebay special with a gentle smile, more of a smirk. A very subtle rock 'n roll on the 1k seems to be doing the trick.
Except the toe. There's a pretty big curve in the last 1/4 or 1/8 of the edge leading to the toe. It's a spike point, only the spike point is curved if you see what I mean. Maybe someone had to remove a chip there or something. Anyway at the curved toe I don't seem to be doing anything very effective with the hone. I can see the rounding of the bevel from the sandpaper there with my naked eye. Gentle rock n roll won't do it; unless I practically lift the razor I'm not really going to hit that toe...
I've moved on to the 4k and I'm getting HHT all along the blade except for that blasted curved toe.
Maybe I'll have to leave the toe for when I'm a better honer...
