Yeah, I've put this one aside for a while. It just won't hone up corretly and after literally hours and hours of honing I still can't get the edge where it should be. I'll have to come back to it here at some point after a bit, but for right now my Larkin that I restored is shaving very nicely.Are you sure the blade rests completely flat on the hone? The razor I have that came with a similar frown is slightly warped. I can set a bevel OK but at higher levels of refinement it becomes apparent tune gen honing. It may be that the frown appeared because of years of uneven honing to compensate for an edge that isn't straight. Try a sharpie test.
Also I find it easier to hold a smaller blade at the wrong angle when shaving, which is most noticeable going atg.
