Guys thanks for the replies.

I honed it on 1000, 3000, 4000, 8000 then canvas then strop both with paste one them. If the bevel was not right would i not shave right in the first place though? Like I say I know nothing

Ill try and get some photos but not sure how to get a picture of the edge.

Mainman I was wondering if that was the problem as well as im new its taking a while to shave although the lather feels slick enough and I used oil first.

When they heat treated blades in the old days did they do the entire blade or was it just a portion of the cutting edge? Im guessing with something as small as a blade they would have done the whole lot.
