Belgian Coticule Straight Razor Honing - Watch the Water

Perhaps the easiest way to know whether you've "set the bevel" on your straight razor or not is to simply observe the manner of water interacting with the razor on the whetstone).

If you begin with a razor that you'd gently intentionally dulled upon glass (to the point that it wholly ignores arm hair) and work the razor across your hone until the water scoops up on to the razor's concavity easily and uniformly in both directions on the hone, it is time for you to test that razor to your arm hair; if likely cuts the hair easily at any point on the razor edge when put flush to the taut skin, and thus is ready for the further refinements of finer stones.
