Thread: Edge collapsing halfway through shave?

I am kind of a rookie at honing but have been able to hone a few razors to give nice smooth shaves. The funny thing is the only razors I have gotten to give comfortable shaves are some cheep gold dollar razors. I decided to try a couple vintage razors again. The one I shaved with was a Morley & Sons. I got the one honed up real nice and the first 1/3 of the shave a was nice then the edge went to crap quick. I couldn't even finish the shave without going to the gold dollar.

I have decided it could be one of two things. I over honed and created a wire edge which broke down or I might have to add some more tape to the spine to create a steeper angle on the edge.

What do you guys think would be your aproach to rehoninf this razor? I was thinking of going back to 4000 and going back to 8k and 12k.
