OK, so I grabbed a previously unhoned American 5/8 full hollow razor that I picked up at an auction. If I can't hone this type of razor I might as well hang it up. Things are looking up.
Took all the advice and watched Glen's video above as well as the English fellow Liam Razor Sharpening - YouTube . I like the way he keeps his razor on the stone and does this loop after each flip over. Kept my arm level with the hone, taped only above the blade, changed tape after bevel set and prior to last finisher, tried to keep the pressure even. Started with my Chosera 1K (soaked and lapped), moved up through a series of naturals each with a slurry and then did about 40 strops on linen and then 50 on leather.
So, the results are that things are getting much better. I am still not completely even on the bevel, but it isn't as pronounced. I tried to correct any uneven areas on the 1K before i moved on. My heels are not getting enough and one side is a bit heavy, but not as bad as before. I did try the heel forward adice and that helped some. I think that it is easy for the heel to fall off the stone too soon and get neglected.
After stropping, the entire length of the bevel met the HHT, which is a first for me :) Was testing it on my thumb throughout the process, but not exactly sure what to feel. Shaved like a champ. Now i will go back and work on my taller blades.
