Hi Tony regarding the bevel it really all depends on what razor your are honing, now a very well cared for vintage full hollow can retain a very small bevel for ever if they are well cared for and honed correctly with a taped spine, now that old Mappin & Webb you sent me was a wedge type blade and had seen a fare amount of honing through the years so even though I used two layers of tape I still went along with the original bevel which would naturally be wider than a full hollow, in the past when I have owned old wedge type blades with a large bevels I've taken them to me buffer with a 180 grit wheel then removed the existing bevel and started all over again with 3 or even 4 layers of tape to get the smaller bevel that I like.
