1 -About the ridges (two parts of the spine that touch the hone) On a razor that has been over honed on the toe (or heel) how important is it to get the ridges totally the same thickness from heel to toe assuming they are still centers on the edge. (.195 at the toe and .199 at the heel, 4 thousandths thicker at the heel)
2 -On a razor that has a frown and has a slightly hollow spine. How do I make sure that I don't remove too much at the heel or toe of the edge. With a straight spine I could measure from the edge to back of the spine, but with the hollow spine I'm not sure what to use as a reference.
How critical are these issues to the blade geometry?
Probably not the best razor for my first restore, but at least I have some nice scales from it. Its a Shumate 127. Besides the frown i think someone rounded off the original point.
Thanks for your insight.
