I was hoping someone could help diagnose what I am doing wrong here. I am attempting to set a bevel on an H. Boker which had a fairly rounded bevel when I got it. I put on a layer of tape and did about 20 laps on a 1k norton stone. It was popping hairs pretty easily from the heel to the midpoint of the blade, but from the midpoint to the toe it didn't seem to work. Under magnification the bevel looked great on the heel side, but it didn't look like I had hit the toe side of the blade at all.

I read up on the forums a bit and then tried 3 layers of tape with an angled stroke with moderate pressure (about 20 laps). The result was about the same, but the bevel seemed to get a little wider on the heel... so I decided to stop and seek help here.

I am being very careful to keep the blade flat on the hone, but I just don't seem to be hitting either side of the toe part of the blade. Does anyone have any advice?
