I'm restoring my girlfriend's dad's straight razor. In honing, there was a significant chip in the edge at the toe of the razor. I bread knifed the edge to bring it back into alignment and remove the defect. I used the pyramid method as laid out by Lynn Abrams with a 220/1k and 4/8k Norton water stone. Everything seems to be good with the exception of the aforementioned toe area of the razor. I don't seem to be getting the edge in that area back to shaving sharp. Is this just going to take extra work and time (not to mention patience). I only have the two stones and no immediate plans to obtain more. Does anyone have tips or advice that may help?

Thanks,
