Thread: Troubleshooting uneven sharpness

I have found this excerpt from the barber manual on honing/stropping in the SRP Wiki help files very helpful. It describes a way to maintain a slight smile which they feel is preferable in a blade. Using slightly more pressure on the heel and at the point while doing the x stroke. They say it will also avoid getting a frown in the blade from too much pressure in the center area of the blade.

Sounds like you know what you are doing. If you are using the rolling x maybe a bit more light pressure at the point ? Even getting into doing some area honing at the point on a 4k with a few circles to sort of reset the bevel at that end of the blade. Then regular x strokes to even it out with the rest and move on up from there.

Than again, I don't really worry about HHT if the razor is shaving well. If it isn't at the point though you have to try something.
