I have a Titan Razor that came about a month ago.

I decided to hone it from scratch including bevel.

I don't know if i have a problem child or if i am just useless (Don't feel that you have to comment LOL).

I have bevel set and finished a few of my razors with great success, in my humble opinion anyway but I am having a really frustrating time with this one.

This morning was my third try at setting the bevel and now i set the alarm to go off after 35 minutes at which point i walk away.

I have enough in my rotation that I'm not desperate to use it, on the other hand it's new so I'm keen to have a shave with it.

I'm not going to admit defeat and send it out and i will get it done or turn it into a folding toothpick trying.

I set the bevel at the centre and the toe but the heel isn't set so I try to set the heel and lose the centre and toe.

I've tried straight up and down heel leading, heel following, rolling up and down, rolling x strokes. I've tried putting weight on the heel with my fingers. I've tried the axe method, I've tried circles

I think part of the problem is that i ground the stabilizer like a GD and slipped so the heel got it too and now I'm trying to hone the heel but the rest of the blade suffers as a result.

I wonder if it might be worth taping the bevel except for the heel, any ideas would be welcomed, except send it out because i don't give up that easy.

I have got a really great edge on a couple of my razors from my arks and because they are only 2 inches wide I'm wondering if that could be the way to work just on the heel, I know it would take a while but my Washita might be able to do it.

I've been using 1K so far but I only have 220 that's courser, I wonder.
