    Per Glen's and others advice, I broke out the Dremel and toned down the large rear shoulders on this GD that were interfering with setting an even bevel along the entire length.

    Before:


    After:




    It didn't take all that much, just enough to tame it down so I could get an even stroke across the whole length. Then per Sham, I reset the bevel, and now it's much more even, especially at the heel.

    Before:



    After:





    I've taken it back down through 1K - 5K - 8K on the Naniwas, and am polishing it now on naturals. Much better feel and response.

    Thanks all for your helpful suggestions.

    Hi Tim,

    So far I've received around 10 GD razors from several customers and so far I haven't had those kind of issues.
    For some reason, the heel on your razor isn't touching the hones as the rest of the blade.
    The Naniwa's are too wide for this kind of problem.
    Try using a narrow hone to set a proper bevel on the heel. For example, use a Coticule with heavy slurry and add water from time to time until it's cleared. This was how I honed last week a very uneven razor a customer sent me. The Naniwa 1k wasn't doing much of a job setting a bevel, so I used the Coti with success.

    Good luck
