I did more research and watched some videos (gssixgun's honing a smiling wedge). I used a 45 degree heel forward stroke on the Naniwa 1k until the razor was popping arm hair (that took a long time)....

I laid the razor on it's edge and shined a light behind it. You can see light under the toe for about 1/2".

I wouldn't call this the ideal razor to set your first bevel on but beggers can't be choosers.

This razor is small! I put a Dovo 5/8" next to it so you can get an idea...
