Thread: I need advice on a crumbling edge.

No, the arrows in the drawing are in perspective (the eagle is carrying them in his claws), hence they're not parallel to the edge.
When I got it the blade was slightly wider at the toe, which I have often seen on these old-style razors. Since the problem is at the toe half, and I have removed the crumbled part of the edge 3 times, the blade is about symmetrical now. (I have lost about 1.5mm off the toe) I need to solve this rather soon, or there will not be a cripple eagle somewhere...
