    The blade looks to have been heavily sanded and buffed and the spine is no longer straight or is warped or twisted, the bevels will be uneven as a result. Most razors are warped and most bevel are not perfectly even.

    Use a rolling X stroke, heal leading and keep the heel on the stone at least half-way across the stone to hone the heel. The Rolling X will also hone the toe, Ink on the bevel will tell you if you need to lift and how much, to hone the toe.

    Two layers of tape would have made a smaller bevel. You cannot hone a curved edge with a straight stroke. You can grind the spine, but why, just hone the heel and toe.
