I have a slightly different issue that may be related. I've been honing the blade and the bevel is pretty even everywhere except one tiny 3/8" length area. It's right before the actual toe bevel, cause the toe bevel is even with the rest of the razor. I've been trying to even this spot out and no matter what I do (tape around it, hone only that spot with light or heavy pressure directly on that part of the spine), it just will not even out with the rest of the razor.
I'm wondering what I can do to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance
