    Default Bevel Width

    Hi Guys. I've tried to restore my old Vulcan Joseph Ellen 6/8, Sheffield straight razor. It is in good shape, spine lightly honed.

    Because the bevel was veeery wide and uneven I decided to reset it completely(so now the blade is almost 5/8) and set a new one. After an hour honing on my King Iceberg 1k I got another very wide and uneven bevel that couldn't even be finished on this 1k to cut hair off my arm. I also have nice Boker King Cutter 5/8 honed by a pro. This blade is fantasticaly sharp ,bevel very very narrow , almost hardly visible.

    If somebody could tell me what the width of bevel depends on and what I should do to achieve such a narrow bevel. I think that my honing technique is ok. I use almost no pressure, 1 hand honing, 1 layer of electric tape. Thanks guys
