I have a W&B with a smile. It sits perfectly flat on the hone. And it has a small uniform bevel. The spine is hollow and possibly that makes a difference?

I embrace the subterfuge of semantics with open arms...well, then I close them.

If true, it means you have honed all razors...

Start with no pressure and change from there...none, just the razor's weight floating over the stone, so to speak. I believe site delivered pressure can be useful on a geometrically challenged...

If you find it awkward to hone on either stroke, you could try ever so lightly to put a second 'hand' on the end of the blade, no pressure, just there for balance. Don't tell anyone I said this, ok?
