I'm currently attempting to hone my TI and am having some trouble. The edge didn't seem to be super sharp off the 4K side of my 4/8K norton. So, I tried the sharpie test to check the bevel. I find this (hopefully it's somewhat visible).



It looks like the spot around my top finger is not being honed.

What's the proper way to correct this? I only have the 4/8K norton, and am a beginner at razor honing in every sense of the term. I've only sharpened one other razor. Right now I'm thinking of three options:

1. Keep on the 4K until it's all even.
2. Apply slight pressure to that spot as I hone.
3. Send it to Lynn or Glen.

I'm hoping to get this razor in great shape because it's my favorite (of only 2) razors. I bought it the day my wife and I married so it's a bit sentimental to me.
