Thread: I can't get consistent with setting the bevel

Start with no pressure and change from there...none, just the razor's weight floating over the stone, so to speak. I believe site delivered pressure can be useful on a geometrically challenged blade...I don't have those, I get rid of them as I don't enjoy the gymnastics. It is probably more important for a real honemaster to see your technique.
