You have done an awesome job bringing back a nice even bevel :tu

Looks like it is coming together for you, and looks like you are learning to "Blend" the entire bevel together :tu

One of the things that I am not getting a feel for from the closeup pics

Is the entire bevel beginning to even up, are you getting a nice gentle smile along the whole edge

Yes that is the basic premise,,, back when we actually did the experiments and measurement here on SRP we measured razors that were shaving for us and found angles from 12-25 the most by a huge...

Let me see if I can make it clear...

A bevel angle of 15° - 17° is dead nuts normal in fact perfect

Now look at the first pic of the razor in post #1, do you see an issue ???

So obviously...

I think we all agree with the "Fact" that the numbers seem "Off" but the results you are getting, show promise, it looks like you are actually getting close to an edge now..

I would NOT change...

Ok

17.8° with all that honewear seems "Off" to me but the results seem to be coming together from those pics

You are working in experimental territory here there are no set rules, but it looks...

On the 220 it should feel "Knife" sharp from heel to toe..if it does then move to the 1k and see if you are in a real bevel setting area..

This is the Google friendly calculation, that means you can change the variables of the Spine width (Shown here at .181) and the size of the blade (Shown here at .620 ) and copy it to Google and get...

General rule of thumb on spine wear

1 Layer of 3M #700 per 1mm of hone wear

You are looking at 5+ mm of spine wear, that razor is into Re-grind territory, the issue is that the razor isn't...
