Thread: Scratch pattern off Norton 8k seems too rough

Woops I uploaded the wrong photo before so those are actually the same photos, one is just rotated.

I am confused on how I can hone the edge if the bevel isn't set since I was always under the impression that a bad bevel meant hones weren't reaching the edge, but were rather just polishing upper parts of the bevel. For this razor, I lightly butterknifed the edge before and then set the bevel on my 1k to the point where I could shave arm hair on the different sections of the edge. When you say the bevel isn't set do you mean the shape of the bevel is off, or that it is still too roughly finished. I've marked my edge with a marker and run it up and down my 8k to make sure I am hitting the hone along the entire edge.
