Gents,
Here are some pics of the W and B wedge that I've been asking for advice on. There is one picture where you'll notice that the middle of the razor is getting quite a long bevel, while the heel and toe are just being touched by the hone. There are portions of it that will stick on a TNT now.
thanks,
Are you using a uneven amount of pressure near the center of the blade? Just curious also what stones are you usin and was it lapped? Are you using circle strokes or x strokes?
Disburden,
I'm using the Norton 220/1000 combo, and I've just moved onto the 1K.
Both sides of the stone have been frequently lapped, as it has been in use for a couple months. I've been using a pencil to mark a grid on the stone prior to lapping.
As for the pressure. At the beginning I was really attempting to use even pressure on the blade, and when I found this was happening, I began to use a rolling x.
This bevel situation is only happening on one side. The other is almost completely even. I thought maybe there was a tad of warping.

If the water on the stones is moving on the whole edge on one side but not on the otherside then there is a fairly good chance the blade could have a warp in it. I have yet to see a warped wedge though, but I am not that experienced in wedges.
