Thread: Won't get sharp. Help!

Ok, tried honing this razor many times, I have a 1k king did circles 40 each side followed by ten x strokes. Then pyramid style of honing on a 4/8, the TNT seems to have the bevel set, shaves hair on arm but not that greatly. should I be doing something different with my honing due to the shape of the blade? I have walked away many times from this blade and came back to do it again. I really wanna shave this razor but have been so discouraged.. I have hone almost fifty razors and had some problems but always came back to them and tried again then got it.. This one is stumping me?? I haven't used any tape when honing this razor.. MAgic marker test after a few strokes goes away but remains on the toe. Should I put a layer of tape on it and try again?
