Getting Bevel to Meet
No real need to post pics, but... why not. We all like pics right?
So this is a New England Razor Co. razor, my latest off ebay. Last pic is the ebay pic. A surprise since it's actually nicer than I anticipated. I bought it anticipating to replace the scales. Funny thing is as I'm working with it the oils from my hands are darkening up the walnut and it's actually looking pretty cool in a primitive way and I may just keep them. I'm from Connecticut and starting to collect New England razors and I liked the blade and etching.
I've just about got the bevel set except at the heel. And my question is more general than this particular razor. I hope I can explain this. On the one side the edge is straight and looks set inspecting through my loupe. On the other side as I go down, the edge is good until the heel and I get a "shine" at the edge where it's not set and the bevels are not meeting. Am I correct in my thinking that I have to hone down the "good side" bevel to meet the lower "bad/shiney" side bevel?Substance likes this.

No. The 2 edges have to meet. You can't drag one kicking & screaming to meet the other especially if the other needs more honing.
Hone the side with the incomplete bevel more.The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
