Be patient and pay attention to what you are doing and what is happening to the bevel. Putting marker on the bevel will help. If it is a true wedge I would use at least one layer of electrical tape on the spine even though I hate using tape. Replace the tape as soon as it starts showing wear. Depending on how well or poorly the razor was ground it may make a difference on the bevel if you don't put the tape back on exactly as it was previously. Use the marker for the first few times you replace the tape to see if your bevel changed. When you start getting frustrated put it down and walk away from it after removing the tape and drying it off. Come back to it when you are relaxed. Be patient with it and be sure to have fun. Good luck.
