When setting a bevel, do you just go back and forth on the stone like you would do when sharpening your razor using the pyramid method? Or do you just grind down one side untill you get an even shiny line above the edge of the razor?
I applied magic marker to both sides of the razor and the bevel was so screwed up. One side took the marker right off the steel, but the other side was not affected, so I procceded to use my 1000 grit norton and I got the marker to come of pretty close to the same amount on the other side. It took me about two hours to accomplish this, but when I tested the edge with my thumb, one side feels sharper than the other. What am I doinf wrong?
