I picked up a C-MON handmade quite a while ago with a small chip in the blade. I progressively have been working to get the chip out each time I go through to hone one of my razors and finally got the thing out last night.
Now I'm going to set the bevel and I've established a pretty nice one throughout the greater part of the blade. My issue is that the last 1/4 inch or so just won't budge. I've been fiddling with a few different techniques I've seen but just can't get it. Basically, my result thus far is that I can visibly see the bevel under my magnifying glass however, it just won't pop any hairs as does the rest of the blade.
Any thoughts? I've never had an issue like this. I assumed once I got one part of the blade set, the rest would follow but apparently I'm wrong.
Edit:
It feels like much harder steel than other razors I've honed. Took quite a while to get where I am now.
