    ~ Notice very slight frown at heel & hone wear on stabiliser. This a fairly worn blade but of course still usable.

    ~ Dip & hone wear corrected. Very little metal removed.
    Blade at 1k stage. Bevel was actually incomplete along the blade.

    Sorry the pic is a bit bright.
    Kind of bread knifed but only at the heel. Just took a bit off the stabiliser where the hone had rubbed & reshaped the small dent a little. It's a new razor & altho the bevel was incomplete I felt B'K ing the whole edge was a bit extreme & would bring the edge even closer to the stabiliser which was already a problem. It honed up quite easily.

    Thanks for the tip. I have quite a few razors that will benefit from this treatment. Also a great time saver if it is done before honing through all that metal. I have learned so much here at SRP in a relatively short time.

    Thanks for the tip on how to fix this problem. I've come across this a number of times and now I know how to fix it and not have an ugly looking bevel.
