Hmmmmm not sure what you are saying here, The stabilizer / shoulder should not be involved with this at all, if it is touching the hone it needs to be knocked down first, otherwise it is going to lift the heel edge away from the hone..

Bad design or wear on the edge can bring it into play, fix it BEFORE you start honing


Edit: can we see a pic of the edge and spine of this razor that is giving you issues, I thought we were talking about honing in general but it seems to have narrowed down onto a razor with "Issues"
