Once you get the frown sorted, it is just a matter of light X strokes rolling up on the concave side and rolling down on the convex side. You will never have even bevels and they will be opposite from side to side but can shave perfectly well.

Do not grind the spine to try to “straighten” the razor, you don’t need to. Yes. that technique can flatten a razor, but it is drastic, irreversible and not necessary.

It is a matter of light pressure and removing the previous grits stria. The bevel on the heel of the concave side will be thin but that is ok, as long as the edge is straight.

Use tape, you needlessly ground the spine and have removed a 1/16 to a 1/8th from the spine. Once you master honing, then decide if you want to continue to use tape.
Exactly.
