So, is that occurring along the whole edge on that side, (not honing to the edge)?
What part of the razor are the photos from, Heel, toe or middle?
Are the bevels close to the same width on both sides, same width, from the toe to the heel, of the same side?
Does the razor have stabilizers, and if so, are they hitting the stone?
GD’s are notorious for uneven spines, crooked grinds and hard steel. Set the razor on a stone and see how bad the warp is, also measure the spine thickness at the 3 points.
Most probably it is warped.
Post a photo of the whole razor on both sides.

I do the tap and wobble test that Dr matt described in one of his videos to diagnose blades that don't sit flat and require different strokes then a normal x stroke. As one who has dealt with around 10 GD 66's. Grinding the edge can be a pain in the ass. Made much easier after removing the troublesome stabilizer's that stick out way to far. Then it is a very long session to get that initial edge set on a 1k or sub 1k stone. Most GD require a slight roll. Keep on the 1k until its set. Use a magic marker to show you where more work is required. Don't be afraid of using pressure these things are bulky and crude. They will handle it.
Keep us posted.

thank you all for the replies it really helps.
here are pictures of the razor, and before you tell me i have put too much effort in the esthetics before making sure the razor has a workable bevel i completely agree but this was a spontaneous project and i figured that even though GD take a lot of work honing i have so far managed to bring them shave ready so i didn't expect this much of a problem :(

as you can see i have removed the shoulder so that shouldn't be the issue

Possible the blade is flexing from excess pressure with no stabilisers to stiffen it,
Try much lighter razor weight only strokes with the marker on the edge and see where it hits
Also is the spine the original face or have you ground it to that when honing modifying also ?
