Hi, Please can someone with experience of this help me,
I am working on my first proper restoration project on a Joseph Allen & Sons, it says mediuim hollow ground on the blade, so far I have hand sanded the blade to a nice shine, however there was a chip on the edge of about 2mm deep and 1.5mm so to remove I took it to my norton 220 and put 4 layers of tape started honing and though this would take a long time so I lifted the spine to a 80 degree angle and varied the angles till the chip was removed....now I put the spine back on the hone and continued... then decided to go to the 1k to set the bevel and removed the tape and put on 1 layer and after a while it still was having no effect so I though maybe need another layer of tape, so continued with 2 layers but still no effect.....

Does this mean that I have made a double bevel on the edge from going from 4 layers to 2 and no ammount of honing will touch the edge as it isn't making contact with the hone? I tried the magic marker and it was removing it although evenly, should I go back to the 220 with 2 layers of tape for a few passes to possibly remove the double bevel and then return to the 1k? I have stopped for now as don't want to ruin the razor given the number of hours spent sanding it...
Please help..
