Hi there,

I've thought about the rolling x, but it just seems to make more sense to just sand the bulge flush with the rest of the spine so the edge can be honed in a uniform manner, I wish I knew why it is made like this, and so I think maybe there is a reason and I just don't know enough about old sheffield blades. I don't want to change them in any way from how they were designed, so I guess I want to know if other folks have blades like this, or is this perhaps a defect on ALL six of my razors?? seems strange though.

Anyways, here are some images to show what I mean. I think the rolling x is the only real solution, so maybe it is intended to be honed like that.
