    Welcome to SRP. If you are already into honing and want to attempt getting the razor shave ready, take black marker and paint the edge. Then do a few strokes to see what is coming off. That lets you know what parts of the bevel are in contact with the hone.

    This method here has worked for me with variations depending on the circumstances of the particular blade. Called the 'rolling x' the tutorial is in the SRP Wiki along with much more if you take a run through it all.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
