Thread: Help a noob reset a bevel?

You really want to check your razor's blades with a straight edge. Your stone should do, but it occurred to me - do you have a flattening stone, and are you sure that your Norton is completely flat?

I do not have a flattening stone but I did lap both sides of the stone using a glass tile and the pencil grid method. When I held the razors against the stone I was able to see a very small amount of light in some places, maybe a 1mm gap..but I still think the wavy bevels have more to do with my technique than the spine being off. What is the general technique for setting/resetting a bevel? Just honing alot? That is one thing I have not been able to figure out. Thanks again!
Edit: I just looked at the gap again and it's not even as big as 1mm in any place...maybe 1/2 or 1/4 of a mm
