Do you need to set a new bevel or just freshen up the edge? First you need to determine if it was previously honed with tape or not. Mark the bevel with a sharpie and do a few strokes on your finishing hone. Look at the bevel under the loupe. If the tip of the bevel is not coming clean it was previously honed with tape and you should continue honing with tape. I would also recommend against doing circles and concentrate on X strokes. Do all the reading you can about honing in the SRP library too.
