I always hear that you only need to set the bevel once, and that's it.
But eventually, the honing will remove enough steel from the edge that the edge will move back. The blade will become smaller. What happens to the bevel?
I'm thinking about this because I have a chip in my edge. Instead of taking my atoma 1200 and grinding out the chip, I'm trying a suggestion, which is to just keep regular honing and watch the chip slowly disappear.
So does that mean that the bevel remains the same size? That honing just pushes the entire bevel further up in the razor?
The chip is just slightly in from the toe. You can see it without magnification.
It shaves fine, by the way. I wouldn't even know about it if I hadn't inspected it with my loupe.
