A few different approaches to this...

Take a razor that you did not hone and you have no idea how it was honed...

1. Reset, your own bevel, using whatever and however you do that, then proceed from there... Some people even go so far as to lightly dull the existing edge on a glass or a fine hone to make sure then actually reset a bevel and don't get false positives on a sharpness test...

2. Magic marker test, to see where the old bevel is and chase it. By coloring the edge then doing a few laps you can more easily see what is going on... And try and match what the previous honer did and hope to god they knew what they were doing...

3. Nuke and pave, by taking it to a low grit stone you grind off the old bevel BUT you also most likely just over-honed that edge drastically so now it will take twice as long and way more steel to bring you edge back...

4. The exact opposite of 3. is the high grit "Hail Mary" try which is 5 laps or so on a barbers hone or 15 on a high grit finisher and hope to god the edge is there...

Hope that helps somewhat...and most of those are my stupid names for them

BTW the razor rocks those Kron-Punkt are really nice shavers...
