Hi, can some one give me some tips on my honing please

I've noticed that when I set the bevel, I take the razor in my right hand and start to perform circles , normally I stay in the top quarter of the hone.
Afterwards I can see that I am taking more metal from the centre section of the blade than from the toe / heel areas.
This also leads to the toe of the blade not touching the hone unless I do exaggerated X-strokes, where the toe near enough comes off the hone at the end of the stroke.
It also means that when I'm on my Jnats I have to raise the heel a touch to get the toe to make a decent contact with the hone.

After some circles on that side of the blade, I don't then flip it and do the other side. I swap hands . I take the blade with my non honing hand and do circles in the centre of the stone and near the bottom of the stone.
That side of the blade is perfect, even ware all the way along. (ridiculous)

Is there a solution to this?
Change my posture or seating position maybe.
I suppose an answer could be to stop doing circles...
I've been honing like this for a few years now and I must put a stop to it
Many thanks
