Hello sirs!

Been trying to hone my first razor for Larry at whippeddog.com, and have had a little trouble so far. The razor came to me pretty dull. I have Naniwa 1k, 5k, 8k, and 12k Super Stones. I am trying Lynn’s circle method but can’t seem to get the razor to cut any hairs after the 5k. I have repeated the 1k and 5k parts several times and it still will not cut. When I run the edge across my thumbnail, it feels rough. The bevel is uneven and it appears that the edge is slightly curved in some places. I also have a DMT 325 if that is of any use here.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

Thanks!
