Hi all, I’m a complete noobie. I got a straight razor this week. The straight razor was blunt (it couldn’t cut any if my arm hair), so i decided to learn how to hone. I got a #3000 and a #8000 grit whetstone. After about 60 passes on the #3000 grit and 100 passes on the #8000 grit, it still couldn’t cut my arm hairs. After that i went back to the #3000 grit because i noticed that the edge of the blade wasn’t even. The Heel and Toe of the edge is broader then the middle (as in the photo below).
The opposite side looks like this:
Any advise from the beard masters would be greatly appreciated.
