No, not if you are starting from square one.
If it was me I would re-read what the honing tutorials say just to refresh my memory here . The bevel should have the same scratch pattern all the way to the edge and be the same color under magnification. If it is not the same color you have more then one bevel. As Randy told me it is the most time consuming part of the process. Be patient and persistent. If you don't have magnification you should get one of those Radio Shack type hand held microscopes or a 30 power eye loupe like the ones Widget Supply sells. Makes life a lot easier.
