Damn Alan. I really want to hang out with you again sometime!

Apply a shaving edge first, then back into a good bevel with every failure.

Could you elaborate on that please?

I'm assuming that you are suggesting taping the spine to set the bevel, then removing the tape to "set the spine" and reseting the bevel to the new untaped angle. I don't know what you mean by "then back into a good bevel with every failure."
