First time honing. Vintage Genco.
Ordered a vintage Genco on the cheap from eBay. I'm determined to get it shave ready if it kills me (which it might). It had two small chips in the blade and was pretty dull. I spent about 45 minutes on a Norton 220 to get the chip out... then spent a solid two hours on the 1k. I have a sneaking suspicion that I've made an uneven bevel. It shaves arm hair fairly well on one side, and just barely after 20 passes on the other side. Any way to correct this? I also think the spine may be screwed up to the point where it isn't guiding the angle properly. Here's a pic... I know it's nowhere near detailed enough to give perfectly accurate advice, but maybe you honemeisters out there will have some advice.
