Can't get an even bevel across whole razor
I have a few razors atm and my stone collection is a d8c for lapping
Norton 1000/4000/8000 and naniwa 12k
Razor is a Geneva straight.
First I used 2 layers of tape, use the d8c for a few laps go to the 1k and I can get bevel to cut hair on all parts of bevel. I dull edge on glass and do the same with 1 layer of tape. Same results but then when I move to 1 layer of tape I can't get an even bevel and the razor won't cut hairs of my arm anywhere.
Set bevels and honed few other razors all the way to a very nice shave but can't get this one past the bevel stage. Bevel is sort of large so I don't use very much pressure at all. On 1k I do circles then I just finish with x strokes. I hone with one hand focusing on even pressure. The tape wasn't over the shoulder or anything like that.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong or what I should be doing differently? Spent an hour or two on the razor before I started to get annoyed and leave it alone.

Copy of link to get an idea of the size of the bevel. On the d8c I can get it it level it seems from the scratch marks but when I move to 1k looks like a second bevel forms and it doesn't get sharp like it did with tape.
1k stone flattened before and after last razor I honed up and before this razor as well
Solved
