I don't know if this contributes anything to the conversation... here are a pair of Zowada razors made by the man himself. They are dead on 7/8 and the spines measure .225. I am math challenged so I will depend on your expertise to translate those numbers into the bevel angle.

I was thinking in reading your post that since Mr. Zowada had much to do, if not all, with the design of the razor that perhaps the bevel angle of the Hart razors was deliberately on the shallow side ? Measuring my pair I tend to wonder.
