Thank you! I thought for sure the bevel was there after taking out the chip but I did breadknife so it was completely dull.

I see the ragged edge in my photo I will compare to the photo you...

Shaved with the Geneva razor finished on the Arkansas today- it was a VERY sharp edge and VERY keen. Almost had a dangerous quality to it- only took 2 passes to erase the stubble to my satisfaction...

Well....I have started the process. It is somewhat reflective at this point. I plan to work on it every night until it shines like glass but wow lots of elbow grease to do!

Well- more information. Honed on shapton pro stones 1.5k, 5k, 8k, 12k then 300 or so laps on my newly acquired (and already partially burnished- more info in my other thread in hones forum) black...

If I was going to breadknife wouldn't I do that before I set the bevel?

I am...

Great! I will definitely check that out- I have heard of that procedure but want to be sure I do it correctly too nice of a razor to trust to trial and error.

I have another Genco that I...

Coming off my latest honing success- a pretty severely warped blade- I am ready to take on my next honing challenge...a chip (as seen below in pics)

This is an otherwise really nice Genco razor...
