But hundreds of strokes without getting some OK results sometime during the honing means something is wrong.
Maybe the best thing to do would be for someone else with some experience to look at the razor and try to hone it. If they fail, the razor is likely not good.
How much pressure are you using? Sometimes too much pressure can cause problems that look like what I think I'm seeing in your images.
Of course if you want to buy me a ticket to Paris, I'll be glad to pack up my hones and come to help you!
Cheers, Steve
