    Default Bevel setting problem

    Hi all,

    Trying to set a bevel on the recently restored razor. I'm using light pressure, 2 hands and a slight x pattern as the stone is pretty much exactly the same width as the blade.

    The problem I'm having is with the bevel I'm getting. On one side, its wide in the middle, and tapers out to the ends - almost nil bevel at the toe. On the other side, exactly the opposite. Very wide at the ends, and narrow in the middle.

    Whats likely to be causing this, and how do I fix it? Should I keep at it until it sorts itself out? Could the blade be bent in some way that I cannot see with the naked eye? The blade did have a moderate smile initialy, and I used the breadboard stroke to straighten it up before attempting the bevel.

    Thanks in advance,
    joel.
